Foster poster award
Sana Shaukat was honored with the Best Poster Award for her research presentation at the conference held at Université Toulouse III Paul Sabatier. Her poster, titled “Spark Plasma Sintering Technique for Optimizing Magnetic Properties of Bulk Nanocrystalline Nd-Fe-B Magnet,” highlighted innovative advancements in enhancing the performance of Nd-Fe-B magnets, crucial for renewable energy systems and electrical machinery. The research utilized the Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) technique to rapidly consolidate nanostructured materials while preserving their fine grain structure, essential for superior magnetic properties. By optimizing SPS parameters such as temperature and pressure, the study demonstrated notable improvements in magnetic performance without the use of heavy rare earth elements. This work emphasizes a cost-effective and efficient approach for developing high-performance magnets with improved thermal stability and coercivity, offering valuable solutions for next-generation energy and industrial applications.
