Materials which retain their magnetism and are difficult to demagnetize are called hard magnetic materials.
These materials retain their magnetism even after the removal of the applied magnetic field. Hence these materials are used for making permanent magnets. In permanent magnets the movement of the domain wall is prevented. They are prepared by heating the magnetic materials to the required temperature and then quenching them. Impurities increase the strength of hard magnetic materials.
Soft magnetic materials are easy to magnetize and demagnetize.
These materials are used for making temporary magnets. The domain wall movement is easy. Hence they are easy to magnetize. By annealing the cold worked material, the dislocation density is reduced and the domain wall movement is made easier. Soft magnetic materials should not possess any void and its structure should be homogeneous so that the materials are not affected by impurities.
Soft objects have a low rigidity and can easily change shape when pressure is applied, while hard objects have high rigidity and maintain their shape under pressure. Soft objects often have a smooth surface texture, while hard objects are typically rough or firm to the touch. Examples of soft objects include pillows or sponge, while examples of hard objects include rocks or metal.
Soft materials have a porous structure that allows sound waves to penetrate and get trapped inside, reducing the sound's ability to bounce or reflect. In contrast, hard materials reflect sound waves, causing them to bounce off surfaces and remain in the environment. This difference in how sound waves interact with soft and hard materials contributes to the soft material's better sound absorption properties.
Soft magnets are easily magnetized and demagnetized, while hard magnets retain their magnetism once magnetized. Soft magnets have low coercivity and high permeability, making them suitable for applications like electromagnets. Hard magnets have high coercivity and are used in applications where a strong, lasting magnetic field is needed, such as in permanent magnets.
A hard bearing is made of a material that is strong and rigid, while a soft bearing is made of a material that is more pliable and flexible. Hard bearings are suitable for high load and high-speed applications, while soft bearings are used in applications where vibration damping and shock absorption are important. The main difference between them is the material properties, with hard bearings offering better load-carrying capacity and wear resistance, while soft bearings offer better compliance and vibration isolation.
Soft iron is easily magnetized and demagnetized, making it suitable for use in temporary magnet applications. Hard iron, on the other hand, retains its magnetic properties for a longer period of time, making it ideal for permanent magnet applications. The main difference lies in their ability to retain magnetism.
The difference is in the name; soft corals are soft have body ; with no bony or hard Parts
Fracture is the cracking or breaking of a hard object. Rupture is the sudden bursting of a soft material object.
well is that one is hard and the other one is soft.
Soft data is stored on a data disk or hard drive. Where as hard data is printed.
a soft floor usually has carpet and a hard floor has wood or other things that are hard.
It is a difference between the hardness, generally expressed in the Mohs scale.
hard cheese is hardend by FAT! and i like soft cheese better than hard cheese. =]
The difference is in the name; soft corals have a soft body, with no bony or hard parts. In contrast, hard corals have a hard endoskeleton made of calcium carbonate.
soft money is given in unlimited amounts
soft wood is easy to cut but not good to make stuff and hard wood is hard to cut but good to make with
A soft market has more suppliers than buyers and hard market is the total opposite.
