Magnetic materials are at the heart of electric motors. They channel the magnetic fields generated by coils or permanent magnets, enabling the interaction that produces torque — and ultimately, the tractive power that drives our vehicles. For optimal performance, these materials must guide magnetic fields as efficiently as possible. Yet, because the fields are constantly […]
