Mechanical properties of N48 type orthodontic NdFeB magnet / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective: To test the mechanical properties o f N48 NdFeB magnet.Methods:Samples of N48 NdFeB magnet in the size of 2 mm?3 mm?4 mm were prepared, the residual flux density,coercive force and maximum energy product of the samples were measured, the magnetic density aroun d the magnets,the attractive and repulsive force between two magnets in 0~10 mm air gap were investegated.Results:The residual flux density of t he N48 NdFeB magnet was 1.373 T, coercive force 1 037 A/m and maximum energ y product 368 kJ/m 3.The magnetic density at magnet surface was 0.338 T,it decr eased to 0 at the point that leave magnet surface 20 mm away. The highest attrac tive force was 4.47 N between two magnets, the attractive force was 4.47~0.39 N in 0~5 mm air gap.The highest repulsive force was 2.82 N and the repulsive force was 2.82~0.39 N in 0~5 mm air gap.Conclusion:The magnetic and m echanical properties of the N48 NdFeB magnet can meet the standard of the orthod ontic force.
