    Magnet Temperature
AI Thread Summary
Higher temperatures, such as 150C, can lead to a decrease in magnetism, particularly for sensitive materials like neodymium magnets, which may lose strength permanently if heated above 80C. The long-term effects on magnet strength depend on the specific material; for instance, samarium-cobalt magnets have a much higher curie temperature of 800C. After being returned to room temperature, neodymium magnets may not regain their original strength if they have been exposed to excessive heat. The rate of property loss can vary, with some magnets stabilizing after a period while others may continue to degrade slowly. Understanding the material properties is crucial for predicting the long-term impact of temperature on magnetism.

What is the effect of temperature on a Magnet. I am not talking about curie temp. Just a higher temperature than room temp, say 150C.
Magnetism will probably decrease due to heat. But what is the long term effect, say after a few months.
Will the Magnet be back to its full power when bought back to room temp.

Depends on the material. Neodymium magnets are quite sensitive to heat. If you heat one to more than about 80C it will lose some of it's strength permanantly but the curie temperature is a lot higher, about 300C.
 
The material is samarium–cobalt magnet. curie temp 800C.
will the magnet continue to loose its property slowly or will it stabilize and hold after some period of time.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
