A method for estimating the average intergranular exchange field using measurements of major and minor hysteresis loops. The method also facilitates deshearing hysteresis loops for analysis purposes in perpendicular media. This estimation technique is especially important for modern perpendicular media because exchange plays a critical role and process control can be difficult.
