Irreversible loss
Isotropic magnets
Initial permeability
Impulse magnetiser
Intrinsic coercivity
Irreversible loss
Not recoverable reductions of magnetic properties, due to many factors (temperature, self-demagnetisation, ageing, metallurgical changes, etc.). It is possible to distinguish between permanent losses and losses that could be recoverable by new magnetization.

Isotropic magnets
Isotropic magnets have no preferred direction. Generally, the properties are lower than anisotropic magnets, but it is possible to magnetize and then use the magnet in every direction.

Initial permeability
µi the slope of the normal induction curve at zero magnetizing force

Impulse magnetiser
See magnetiser

Intrinsic coercivity
Hci, the magnetising force required to bring to zero the intrinsic induction (J) of a magnetic material.
