Magnet term "Sendust"

Glossary:
One of the soft magnetic materials with high magnetic permeability. It is based on the iron alloy with 9.6% silicon and 5.4% aluminum where both magnetocrystalline anisotropy and magnetostriction are almost zero. It is named after the place of discovery (Sendai, Japan) and the fact that it is very brittle (easily turns to dust).
