This paper presents an algorithm to remove the DC drift from the B-H curve of an additively manufactured soft ferromagnetic material. The removal of DC drift from the magnetization curve is crucial for the accurate estimation of iron losses. The algorithm is based on the sliding mean value subtraction from each cycle of calculated magnetic flux density (B) signal. The sliding mean values (SMVs) are calculated using the convolution theorem, where a DC kernel with a length equal to the size of one cycle is convolved with B to recover the drifting signal. The results are based on the toroid measurements made by selective laser melting (SLM)-based 3D printing mechanism. The measurements taken at different flux density values show the effectiveness of the method.

Purpose Various iron loss models can be used for the simulation of electrical machines. In particular, the effect of rotating magnetic flux density at certain geometric locations in a machine is often neglected by conventional iron loss models. The purpose of this paper is to compare the adapted IEM loss model for rotational magnetization that is developed within the context of this work with other existing models in the framework of a finite element simulation of an exemplary induction machine. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, an adapted IEM loss model for rotational magnetization, developed within the context of the paper, is implemented in a finite element method simulation and used to calculate the iron losses of an exemplary induction machine. The resulting iron losses are compared with the iron losses simulated using three other already existing iron loss models that do not consider the effects of rotational flux densities. The used iron loss models are the modified Bertotti model, the IEM-5 parameter model and a dynamic core loss model. For the analysis, different operating points and different locations within the machine are examined, leading to the analysis of different shapes and amplitudes of the flux density curves. Findings The modified Bertotti model, the IEM-5 parameter model and the dynamic core loss model underestimate the hysteresis and excess losses in locations of rotational magnetizations and low-flux densities, while they overestimate the losses for rotational magnetization and high-flux densities. The error is reduced by the adapted IEM loss model for rotational magnetization. Furthermore, it is shown that the dynamic core loss model results in significant higher hysteresis losses for magnetizations with a high amount of harmonics. Originality/value The simulation results show that the adapted IEM loss model for rotational magnetization provides very similar results to existing iron loss models in the case of unidirectional magnetization. Furthermore, it is able to reproduce the effects of rotational flux densities on iron losses within a machine simulation.

AbstractThis paper presents magnetic flux density behaviour in laminated electrical sheets which affects the results and precision of iron losses calculation in imbedded permanent magnet (IPM) machine. Objective of the research was to analyse all the influential phenomena that were identified through iron loss models analysis, finite element method simulations and iron loss measurements. The presence of phenomena such as harmonic content and rotational magnetic fields are confirmed with finite element method analysis of concentrated and distributed winding IPM machine. A significant magnetic flux density ripple in the rotor of concentrated winding IPM machine in comparison to distributed winding IPM machine is revealed and analysed. Behaviour that affects iron loss in the rotor of synchronous machines in the absence of first order harmonic is analysed. The DC level added to alternating magnetic flux density was used in experiment to mimic magnetic behaviour on the rotor of IPM machine and further to calculate iron losses.

The ball end magnetorheological finishing (BEMRF) is an advanced nanofinishing process for flat, curved and freeform surfaces of ferromagnetic as well as diamagnetic materials. While finishing copper (diamagnetic material) by this process, a low finishing effect is obtained as its surface repels the externally applied magnetic field. In this work a magnetic simulation is carried out over both copper and ferromagnetic material. For the ferromagnetic material the simulation result shows a high flux density region below the tool tip. However in case of copper the magnetic flux density is too low for finishing. It is also observed through simulations that when copper workpiece is placed on a mild steel base the flux density improves marginally. This led to the idea of using a permanent magnet (in place of mild steel) as a base for finishing of copper using the BEMRF process. Using this technique copper was finished and the experimental results indicate that this method can realize ultra-precision finishing of copper.

Purpose The magnetic characterization of electrical steel is typically examined by measurements under the condition of unidirectional sinusoidal flux density at different magnetization frequencies. A variety of iron loss models were developed and parametrized for these standardized unidirectional iron loss measurements. In the magnetic cross section of rotating electrical machines, the spatial magnetic flux density loci and with them the resulting iron losses vary significantly from these unidirectional cases. For a better recreation of the measured behavior extended iron loss models that consider the effects of rotational magnetization have to be developed and compared to the measured material behavior. The aim of this study is the adaptation, parametrization and validation of an iron loss model considering the spatial flux density loci is presented and validated with measurements of circular and elliptical magnetizations. Design/methodology/approach The proposed iron loss model allows the calculation and separation of the different iron loss components based on the measured iron loss for different spatial magnetization loci. The separation is performed in analogy to the conventional iron loss calculation approach designed for the recreation of the iron losses measured under unidirectional, one-dimensional measurements. The phenomenological behavior for rotating magnetization loci is considered by the formulation of the different iron loss components as a function of the maximum magnetic flux density Bm, axis ratio fAx, angle to the rolling direction (RD) θ and magnetization frequency f. Findings The proposed formulation for the calculation of rotating iron loss is able to recreate the complicated interdependencies between the different iron loss components and the respective spatial magnetic flux loci. The model can be easily implemented in the finite element analysis of rotating electrical machines, leading to good agreement between the theoretically expected behavior and the actual output of the iron loss calculation at different geometric locations in the magnetic cross section of rotating electrical machines. Originality/value Based on conventional one-dimensional iron loss separation approaches and previously performed extensions for rotational magnetization, the terms for the consideration of vectorial unidirectional, elliptical and circular flux density loci are adjusted and compared to the performed rotational measurement. The presented approach for the mathematical formulation of the iron loss model also allows the parametrization of the different iron loss components by unidirectional measurements performed in different directions to the RD on conventional one-dimensional measurement topologies such as the Epstein frames and single sheet testers.
