Additive Manufacturing of Magnetic Materials: Techniques, Materials, Applications, Opportunities and Challenges outlines different 3D printing techniques that can be employed to create an array of different magnetic materials, along with how these materials can be effectively applied. The book discusses the additive manufacturing (AM) of soft magnets, permanent (hard) magnets, 4D magnetic shape memory alloys, magnetocaloric materials, and rare earth based magnetic alloys. Different AM techniques are covered, including laser powder bed fusion, directed laser deposition, binder jetting, cold spray, and the different influences of these techniques on the microstructure of the material produced. Common challenges are highlighted with solutions also provided, and applications covered include magnetic shielding, actuators, sensors, robotics, and magnetic heat exchangers for solid state heat pumps. - Presents various additive manufacturing techniques, the different types of magnetic materials produced, and their applications - Discusses soft and permanent (hard) magnets, 4D magnetic shape memory alloys, magnetocaloric materials, and rare earth based magnetic alloys - Highlights the common microstructural defects associated with different manufacturing techniques - Covers applications such as magnetic shielding, actuators, sensors, robotics, and magnetic heat exchangers for solid state heat pumps
