This study has been undertaken to determine the variation in magnetic flux density with the change in applied current on different materials used for yoke and ram. In the present work, simulations using CATIA, ANSYS Maxwell were performed. The yoke materials considered for the present work are carbon steel and grain-oriented silicon steel. The materials for ram were carbon steel, carbon steel + permendur and permendur. The simulated values of flux density for the combination of silicon steel yoke and carbon steel + permendur ram were compared with the measured flux density values. The flux density was physically measured using Gauss meter. It was observed that an error of 21.3% was consistent for all the values of flux density at different current values. The higher error can be attributed to the losses that govern in actual scenario during application of current in the field press. The assumption in the simulations does not consider all the losses that are experienced in actual magnetic field press.
