Additive Manufacturing of Magnetic Materials

This 17-page module, from Tennessee Technological University, "introduces students to the additive (AM) methods used in fabricating magnetic materials." This module briefly covers "magnetic properties, types of magnetic materials, AM technologies used to produced these magnets, and application areas." After completing the module, students will gain understanding of the working principles of AM manufacturing methods and be able to:

• define the types of materials used in AM,
• provide fundamental knowledge on magnetic properties,
• describe AM processing techniques, and
• understand how AM-made magnets are used in real applications and the advantages and disadvantages of AM methods.
