METHODS OF MAKING A COMPONENT WITH VARIABLE MAGNETIZATION AND RELATED COMPONENTS
Abstract:
A method of forming a component having a variation in saturation magnetization is presented. The method includes selectively diffusing nitrogen into a metallic component of a masked metallic component by exposing the masked metallic component to a nitrogen-rich atmosphere. The masked metallic component includes a patterned oxide layer formed on a surface of the metallic component, and the patterned oxide layer includes an oxide of a metal present in the metallic component. A related component is also presented.
