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…
