A Study on the Deperming of a Ferromagnetic Material by Using Preisach Model With $M\hbox {-}B$ Variables

In this paper, a study on the demagnetization of ferromagnetic materials is conducted based on both experiments with magnetic treatment facility (MTF), which is a miniaturized experimental model, and numerical analysis methods in which the static magnetic finite-element method and Preisach model are combined. The magnetic hysteresis phenomenon inside ferromagnetic materials is effectively mimicked by means of Preisach model. However, owing to the use of M-H variables, Preisach model generally bears numerical instability during repetitive computations. A Preisach model with M-B variables is proposed in this paper to resolve the numerical instability. From the proposed Preisach model with M-B variables, analysis results that were tantamount to those from the general Preisach model with M-H variables were obtained. Numerical instability was also resolved by the proposed model. Furthermore, the discrepancy was practically negligible between the experimental result from a practical demagnetization process and the numerical analysis result from the proposed Preisach model with M-B variables, under the same conditions.
