Limiting Heavy Rare Earths Reliance for Neodymium Magnets
The growth in demand for neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) permanent magnets to maintain magnetic performance at high temperatures led to the inclusion of heavy rare earths such as dysprosium and terbium. The addition of these elements increases the coercivity of NdFeB i.e. it allows the magnets to operate at higher temperatures without losing their magnetic properties. The…

Read MoreBunting Supports Brazilian University Understand Shape Anisotropy and Magnetic Texture
Bunting is supporting an international study into shape anisotropy and magnetic texture determination in anisotropic and isotropic AlNiCo magnets. The research project is being undertaken by Professor Marcos Flavio de Campos, Leonardo Martins da Silva and José Adilson de Castro of the Federal Fluminense University, along with Dr Sergio Antonio Romero of the University of…
Read MoreUnderstanding Magnetic Permeance Coefficient
Firstly, it is important to understand that the maximum working temperature of a NdFeB magnet is not defined by the material grade! It is essential to calculate the magnetic permeance coefficient to establish what grade of material you need. The two examples compare the same magnet but with different thicknesses, one at 30mm and one at…
