Published purpose

The development of complex shape magnets requires to be able to magnetize adequately those magnets in order to maximize their performance. To magnetize complex shape magnets, high-current pulse magnetizer are required. Over the years, Polytechnique Montreal has developed an expertise in the development of high current pulse generator (more than 1 kA in the microsecond and millisecond range), which will be used to developed a custom made magnetizer for complex shape magnets. The specifications of the magnetizer will depend on the magnet properties which will be characterized with tools available in Polytechnique Montreal. This will be used with finite element modeling to anticipate the response of complex-shape magnets and will be used to choose the parameters of the magnetizer. The development of a characterization tool to measure the magnetization of complex-shape magnets will be required. The results will be compared with those obtained by simulation.
