Physics:Magnadur

From HandWiki

Magnadur is a sintered barium ferrite, specifically BaFe12O19 in an anisotropic form.[1] It is used for making permanent magnets. The material was invented by Mullard and was used initially particularly for focussing rings on cathode-ray tubes. Magnadur magnets retain their magnetism well, and are often used in education, eg. as slabs with poles on the large faces.[2][3] Magnadur can also be used in DC motors.[4]
