A magnetic balance for the measurement of the saturation magnetization of alloys has been designed and built. The magnet develops a field strength of 21,000 oersteds in a gap approximately seven-eighths inch long and two inches in diameter, when consuming a power of 4.5 kilowatts. This field is sufficient to saturate solid metal samples of random shape.
Specially shaped pole caps are used which produce a gradient in the direction of the axis of the gap which is constant to within two percent, within a volume cube three-sixteenths of an inch on edge.
The ratio of saturation magnetizations of iron and nickel at room temperature agree closely with the accepted values.
A new magnetic phase has been discovered in the manganese carbon system. It has been identified as ferromagnetic, but its composition and crystal structure remain unknown. / Science, Faculty of / Physics and Astronomy, Department of / Graduate
