A method for additive manufacturing of an article having a controlled magnetic anisotropy includes: forming a metallic layer of the article using additive manufacturing, the metallic layer having a magnetic anisotropy aligned in a first direction; forming a subsequent metallic layer of the article using additive manufacturing, the subsequent metallic layer having the magnetic anisotropy aligned in a second direction different from the first direction; and repeating the forming of subsequent metallic layers of the article to form at least a portion of the article, each subsequent metallic layer having the magnetic anisotropy aligned in a different direction than a previous metallic layer.

A method of forming an annealed magnet includes positioning a magnetizing array ring concentrically with a ring of bulk magnetic material to form an assembly, the magnetizing array ring having a magnetic field defining directions for orienting grains of the ring of bulk magnetic material, placing the assembly in a furnace, and operating the furnace to anneal the ring of bulk magnetic material and grow the grains in the directions. A magnetic array assembly includes a furnace; and an assembly including (i) a ring of bulk magnetic material having grains and (ii) a magnetizing array ring concentric with the ring of bulk magnetic material, and having a magnetic field defining directions for orienting the grains during growth thereof in a presence of heat from the furnace.

A material handling system for engaging and transporting material. The material handling system includes a mouth and a hydraulic actuator for pivoting a tooth within the mouth. Once a material has been positioned within the mouth, the hydraulic piston actuates the tooth to secure the material within the mouth. The tooth is preferably configured and oriented to move into tighter engagement with the material as gravity or other forces attempt to remove the material from the mouth. The bottom jaw of the mouth tapers to a tip that allows the system to more easily pick up material from a surface and to more easily maneuver the tip into tight spaces. The hydraulic piston allows an operator to release the tooth whenever desired and a check valve provided on the hydraulic piston prevents the system from inadvertently dropping material. The material handling system includes a vehicle mounted boom coupled to the mouth so that material engaged by the mouth may be transported to another desired location.
