Guide OF Flexible Magnets The term “flexible magnet” can be confusing. When most people think of magnets, they envision solid bars or pieces of metal. After all, magnets are defined by their ferromagnetic composition. They are comprised of a ferromagnetic metal — iron, cobalt, nickel, neodymium, etc. — that produces an invisible magnetic field. Nonetheless, [...]
Flexible Magnetic Sheeting Rolls with Adhesive, Plain or with Matte-White Laminate Flexible magnetic sheeting rolls are available with a self-adhesive backing, in plain brown or with a matte white vinyl laminate and sold in 50, 100 & 200 ft. rolls. Flexible magnetic material is extremely versatile and used for all types of consumer, commercial and [...]
3D-printed Permanent Magnets Outperform Conventional Versions OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Nov. 1, 2016—Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have demonstrated that permanent magnets produced by additive manufacturing can outperform bonded magnets made using traditional techniques while conserving critical materials. This isotropic, neodymium-iron-boron bonded permanent magnet was 3D-printed at DOE’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility [...]
Rotor magnet shaping technologies for permanent magnet electrical machines Engine torque ripple is essential for the comfort of vehicle passengers. Large torque ripple may result in a harsh driving experience. Moreover, additional noise and vibration are byproducts of torque ripple. The service life of the machine and attached components can be influenced by severe vibrations. [...]
Researchers Developing Sustainable 3D Printed Super Magnets An additive manufacturing breakthrough coming out of TU Graz in Austria could make it easier to manufacture permanent magnets for small electronic components. A TU Graz team—working in collaboration with the University of Vienna, the Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and Joanneum Research—has successfully manufactured super magnets using a [...]
Scientists 3D Printed First Ever Permanent Liquid Magnets 3D printed liquid magnets - Scientists at Berkeley Lab have created a new material that is both liquid and magnetic, opening the door to a new area of science in magnetic soft matter. Among other possible applications (such as liquid robots and even 3D entertainment), a 3D [...]
Can 3D-Printed Magnets Replace Rare Earth Magnets? Additive manufacturing can turn everyday magnetic material into alternatives for expansive rare-earth magnets. Engineers at the Amess Laboratory’s Critical Materials Institute used laser 3D metal printing to turn permanent magnet material into an economical alternative to more expensive rare-earth neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnets. The researchers experimented with [...]
3D-printed Magnets: How can you produce a magnet with exactly the right magnetic field? Today, manufacturing strong magnets is no problem from a technical perspective. It is, however, difficult to produce a permanent magnet with a magnetic field of a specific pre-determined shape. That is, until now, thanks to the new solution devised at TU [...]
Reconfigurable 3D-printable Magnets with improved maximum energy product In conventional magnets, neodymium with added heavy rare-earths is used in order to induce high output and size reduction. But as deposits of heavy rare-earths such as dysprosium (Dy) and terbium (Tb) are disproportionately distributed, it is important to reduce the amount used due to supply issues [...]
