[Abstract] Extensive applications of SmCo₅ magnets are noted and an attempt is madę to determine the param-eters which characterize the magnetic polarity reversal of the elementary microvolumes and establish the rclation-ship between these parameters and the hysteretic char-acteristics of the magnets. The model applicability is checked by experimentally measuring minor hysteresis loops (ChPG) of sintered magnets with various coercive forces and magnetic prehistories. The dependence of the maximum magnetization of minor hysteresis loops of a sintered magnet in a Iow coercivity State and the adjusted maximum magnetization calculated for the Iow coercivity ensemble on the magnetizing current amplitudę and the dependence of the maximum magnetization of minor hysteresis loops of a sintered magnet in a high coercivity State and the adjusted maximum magnetization calculated for the high coercivity ensemble on the magnetizing current amplitudę are plotted. The proposed model makes it possible to analyze minor hysteresis loops and magnetization curves of sintered magnets demagnetized by various methods and confirms that demagnetization is detcrmined by the nucleation and growth of reverse magnetization domains. It is shown that the distribution of parameters characterizing the magnetization polarity reversal of individual elementary microvolumes may be determined from the properties of real magnets and that the magnetostatic interaction of sintered magnet grains is manifested in the behavior of minor hysteresis loops after the sample demagnetization by a static field. Although the study is performed for SmCo₅ sintered magnets, the results are applicable to other materials with a similar magnetization reversal mechanism.

[Abstract] The expediency of increasing the operating resistance of dies by developing leading compressive stresses on the outer contour of the diamond blank is discussed and the issue of strength analysis of the holder-diamond system is considered. The computational procedurę is aimed at ensuring joint operation of the holder and the diamond die and preventing separation on the contact boundary on the one hand and investigating the stressed State of the holder, usually madę from a metal or alloy with a high yield strength, in order to select an appropriate materiał on the other. The holder-diamond system is simulated by two thick-walled cylinders inserted one into another. The proposed procedurę for analyzing the strength of the holder-diamond and chuck-holder-diamond systems makes it possible to avoid separation at the contact between the diamond and the holder or the holder and the chuck and increase the operating stability of diamond dies by precrimping the diamond beforehand. The latter measure opens up the possibility of using cheaper Iow carat raw materials and even synthetic diamonds. Figures 2; references 4.

[Abstract] The interfering effect of associated elements on Chemical analysis methods can be assessed by the value of systematic error which is calculated allowing for the standard deviation of a single measurement result characterizing the analysis^łs random error. Since the effect of individual components may not be additive, an approach to examining the joint effect of all potential interfering components based on the factorial experi-ment design procedurę is developed. In so doing, the ratio of the difference between the mass fraction of the component under study added to the solution and that determined from the results of the analysis to the nor-mative standard deviation which characterizes the reproducibility of the results is uscd as the criterion of the measurement accuracy. Each experiment is con-ducted twice to estimate the random linear spread of initial data and experimental data are processed by the iterative regression analysis with subsequent examina-tion of linear and quadratic models. The associated elements are selected according to existing standards as follows: 0.01-1.5% Nb, 3% V, Cu, and Ti, 5% Mo, 10% W, 25% Cr, and 35% Ni. It is shown that vanadium is the Principal interfering associated element for identifying aluminum in the presence of the other components. The reliability of the method is checked by reproducing the values of certified aluminum conccntrations in standard Steel samples. Tables 1; references 8: 7 Russian; 1 Western.
