- Thermal coefficient of remanence (Br)
- Coefficient when the thermal change of the remanence is approximated with a straight line with the temperature as a variable. The unit is per cent per kelvin [%/K]. The thermal coefficient of remanence generally has a negative value and the smaller the absolute value, the less the change of the remanence with temperature. For SmCo family magnets, the change in remanence with temperature is about 0.03 to 0.04 [%/K] and for NdFeB family magnets, about 0.09 to 0.11 [%/K], which is smaller change with temperature than for ferrite magnets at 0.19 [%/K].
