Apparatus and method for material treatment using a magnetic field

摘要

A method and apparatus for treating an object includes generating a magnetic field wherein at least some of the magnetic field is characterized by changes in amplitude of the magnetic field from an average non-zero value of the magnetic field. The object is placed in the influence of the magnetic field for a sufficient time to subject the object to the changes in amplitude of the magnetic field. A method and apparatus for determining a preferred field intensity of the magnetic field is also included.
