Isotropic magnets
This is a magnet whose crystal grains do not have their easy magnetization axis lined up in a specific direction and whose magnetic characteristic is isotropic. On the other hand, a magnet whose crystal grain directions are aligned and have their easy magnetization axis lined up is called an anisotropic magnet. Isotropic magnets include bond magnets using quick-cooled thin alloy as the raw material and isotropic ferrite magnets, but their magnetic characteristics are inferior to those of anisotropic magnets. Rare earth sintered magnets can not be made isotropic.
