Influence of Magnetic Interactions on the Demagnetization Scheme of Multiple Ferromagnetic Materials by Using Preisach Model

Recently, the demagnetization has been actively researched to reduce the magnetic field of a warship according to the development of the magnetic detection technology of the magnetic mines. In these studies, it was assumed that the warship was composed of one magnetic material in order to establish an effective deperming protocol. However, since the actual warship was composed of various materials, the magnetic interaction between the materials inevitably occurs during the demagnetization process. Due to the interaction, demagnetization may not be performed well. Therefore, in this paper, the effects of interactions in demagnetization of multiple materials were studied by using the Preisach model, and the optimal protocol was proposed.
