Examples

Flexible magnets are composed of a high- coercivity ferromagnetic compound (usually ferric oxide ) mixed with a plastic binder. citation This is extruded as a sheet and passed over a line of powerful cylindrical permanent magnets. Source: Internet

Hematite exhibited temperature-dependent magnetic coercivity values ranging from 289 to 5,027 Oe. Source: Internet

The origin of these high coercivity values has been interpreted as a consequence of the subparticle structure induced by the different particle and crystallite size growth rates at increasing annealing temperature. Source: Internet
