The seminar, ‘Magnetic Technology and Magnetic Materials: Measurement Methods and Magnet Design’, taking place on 24–25 February 2026 in Essen, offers engineers and technical specialists a concise and practical introduction to the world of modern magnetic materials. The seminar focuses on making the most of magnetic components in technical applications, from sensor and drive technology to energy-efficient systems.
Participants will gain in-depth knowledge of the properties, advantages and limitations of all the relevant magnetic materials. Topics covered will include Ni-Fe-based materials, amorphous and nanocrystalline materials, soft magnetic ferrites and magnetoresistive layer systems. The seminar will also cover hard magnetic ferrite materials, powerful rare earth magnets such as neodymium, and polymer-bonded hard magnetic materials. This comprehensive overview of materials will enable participants to select the most suitable solution for each application.
Another seminar focus is modern measurement methods for soft and hard magnetic materials. Practical presentations of established and innovative methods provide a deep understanding of material characterization, quality assurance and development processes. Additionally, magnet design is explained based on typical requirements and real design situations.
Finally, practical application examples demonstrate how magnetic materials are used in current technologies and their potential for future developments. Thus, the seminar imparts valuable specialist knowledge that can be applied directly in development and design processes.
