Additive manufacturing (AM) is enabling new paradigms in the design and fabrication of
magnetic materials by providing control over composition, microstructure, and geometry. A
broad range of materials, including Fe-based alloys, ferrites, high-entropy and graded systems, magnetic shape memory alloys, magnetocaloric materials, and permanent magnets, are critical for power electronics and high-frequency applications.
However, achieving optimal magnetic performance in AM-processed materials remains
challenging due to defects, residual stress, phase instability, and anisotropy from complex
thermal histories. At the same time, AM offers opportunities such as multi-material systems and architected geometries to tailor magnetic response and reduce losses.
This symposium aims to bring together researchers working on AM of magnetic materials to
discuss advances in processing, microstructural control, and performance optimization, with emphasis on processing–structure–property relationships and AM-enabled design strategies.
Topics of Interest
This symposium will include invited and contributed talks in the AM of following areas:
• AM of magnetic materials using LPBF, DED, binder jetting, material extrusion, vat
photopolymerization, sheet lamination, and material jetting.
• Soft magnetic materials (e.g., Fe–Si, Fe–Co, Fe–Ni, Fe–Co–Ni, MEA/HEAs, ferrites,
soft magnetic composites).
• Hard magnetic materials (e.g., Nd–Fe–B, SmCo, Alnico, Co–Ce–Fe–Cu).
• Magnetic shape memory alloys (e.g., Ni–Mn–Ga) and other functional magnetic
materials, including magnetocaloric systems (e.g., La–Si) and microwave ferrites (e.g.,
yttrium iron garnet, YIG).
• Processing–structure–property relationships, including phase stability, defects, ordering,
texture, and post-processing effects.
• AM-enabled design: graded materials, multi-material systems, and architected
geometries.
• Magnetic performance: coercivity, permeability, saturation magnetization, core losses,
and high-frequency behavior (including eddy current mitigation).
• Electrical resistivity and mechanical properties of AM magnetic materials.
• Multiphysics modeling, digital twins, and data-driven approaches.
• Applications include but not limited to power electronics, electric machines,
transformers, EMI shielding, and space environments (LEO, Lunar, Mars).
