Sr.No. Soft Magnetic Materials Hard Magnetic Materials
1 Soft magnetic materials are those materials which have a smaller area enclosed by their Hysteresis loop Hard magnetic materials are those materials which have a Larger area enclosed by their Hysteresis loop
2 They have low remnant magnetization They have high remnant magnetization
3 They have low coercivity They have high coercivity
4 They have high initial permeability They have low initial permeability
5 Hysteresis loss is less Hysteresis loss is higher
6 Eddy current loss is less Eddy current loss is more for metallic types and low for ceramic types.
7 Used in transformer cores, motors, generators, electromagnets, etc. Used in making permanent magnets, magnetic separators, magnetic detectors, speakers, microphones, etc.
