What is the difference between isotropic material and anisotropic material?
Isotropic material is non-oriented material which can be magnetized in any direction. During the manufacturing process, the magnet is not exposed to a magnetic field. Anisotropic material is oriented material which can be magnetized in one direction. During the manufacturing process, the magnet is exposed to a magnetic field to orient the material in the preferred direction of magnetization to heighten the magnets performance.
