Sintered NdFeB Magnets Composition and Microstructure Sintered NdFeB Magnets Composition Sintered NdFeB magnet contains three essential elements: rare earth neodymium, iron and boron. Nd atoms, coupling with ferromagnetic Fe atoms, help the magnet obtain high remanence Br and maximum energy product (BH)max, which makes it extraordinary compared with other permanent magnets. Although B element has [...]
Nd-Fe-B Bonded - Neodymium Plastic Magnet Characteristics of magnets As formed, these magnets achieve high dimensional accuracy and complex shaping. These magnets are made by combining plastic with metal powder having a combination (Nd-Fe-B) similar to that of sintered neodymium magnets and then forming the mixture. Since the magnets contain plastics, the magnetism is much [...]

Preparation of bonded magnets (1) Magnetic powder and binder In the previous issue, we have learned about isotropic and anisotropic magnetic powders. In this issue, we will talk about the magnetic powders and adhesives of bonded magnets with different processes. The rare earth permanent magnet alloy used for bonded magnets is a submicron grain alloy [...]
Preparation of bonded magnets (1) Process classification Bonded magnets are composites composed of magnetic powders, binders, and appropriate additives. The magnetic properties of bonded magnets are mainly determined by the average performance of each magnetic powder with negligible interactions. Melting point metals or alloys are used as adhesives, but the adhesives used to form mass-produced [...]
Properties of hot-pressed and hot-deformed NdFeB magnets Hot-pressed and hot-deformed NdFeB magnets were successfully researched and developed almost simultaneously with sintered NdFeB magnets. In 1985, the General Motors Corporation (GM) Research Center of the United States reported that using hot pressing technology to press the quenched NdFeB magnetic powder in an argon environment at 700 [...]
Preparation process of sintered NdFeB magnets (1) - Raw material Today we start with the link of raw material preparation and alloy preparation. Sintered magnets usually use pure metals or intermediate alloys as raw materials, use the electromagnetic induction heating principle of eddy current generated by alternating magnetic fields in the raw materials, and conduct [...]
Preparation process of sintered NdFeB magnets (2) - Milling powder In the previous issue, we learned about alloy smelting and casting. After casting, the alloy needs to be made into powder through a pulverizing process before entering the subsequent processing process. Obtaining suitable powder shape, average particle size and particle size distribution is the basic [...]
Preparation process of sintered NdFeB magnets (3) - orientation forming Magnetic field orientation forming is to use the interaction between magnetic powder and external magnetic field to arrange the easy magnetization direction of powder particles so that it is consistent with the final magnetization direction of the magnet. This is the most commonly used method [...]
