Hydrogen Embrittlement Failure of NdFeB Magnet Hydrogen embrittlement is a process by which hydride-forming metals become brittle, even fracture due to the penetration of hydrogen gas, and mechanical strength of relevant material will dramatically decrease because of hydrogen embrittlement. People have been studying how to prevent hydrogen embrittlement for over the past several decades. [...]
Spreading magnets or Metal plate spreaders facilitate a safe and efficient removal of the steel plates from a pile. The magnetic flux of the spreader, generated by anisotropic ferrite magnets, penetrates individual plates causing that they are pushed away from each other. The gaps created between the plates allow removing them in an convenient way. [...]
Rare Earth Magnet Magnetization The magnetization of a magnetized material is the local value of its magnetic moment per unit volume, usually denoted M, with units A/m. It is a vector field, rather than just a vector (like the magnetic moment), because different areas in a magnet can be magnetized with different directions and strengths [...]
Magnetic Reversals - Scientists tell us that our magnetic poles have reversed in the past, and that they will again. The last one occurred 780,000 years ago. The average time period between reversals is 450,000 years, but there isn’t really any pattern, it is random. We are overdue by average only. Scientists don’t really know [...]
Exploring the rich potential of copper and rare earth elements: A deep dive into Rincon Resources’ West Arunta project Rincon Resources’ exploration of Australia’s newest critical mineral province, the West Arunta Region, has yielded highly promising results thus far. Rincon Resources is an Australian minerals exploration company with a keen eye on Western Australia’s mineral-rich [...]
Magnetic neighbor effect and interfacial charge transfer induced layered ferromagnetic structures Source: Institute of Physics, Academy of Sciences As a typical correlated electron system, perovskite nickel oxide exhibits a series of rich physical properties such as metal-insulator phase transition and topological phase transition. Recently, due to the successive discoveries of 112-phase and 327-phase nickel-based superconducting [...]
Rainbow Rare Earths achieves milestone in rare earth oxide separation progress source:Mining review Rainbow Rare Earths has achieved group separation of rare earth elements through initial ion exchange test work ongoing in the USA. This achievement marks a significant leap forward in the rare earth oxide separation process, opening doors to the production of individual [...]
A bright idea for recycling rare-earth phosphors from used fluorescent bulbs Recycling facilities collect glass and mercury from thrown away fluorescent bulbs, but discarded lighting could also supply rare-earth metals for reuse. The 17 metals referred to as rare earths aren’t all widely available and aren’t easily extracted with existing recycling methods. Now, researchers have [...]
Revolutionising Rare Earth Element supply chains:Groundbreaking study advocates circular economy approaches Researchers have developed an innovative integrated model to evaluate the revolutionary potential of circular economy approaches on global supply chains for essential rare earth elements (REEs) such as neodymium, dysprosium, and terbium. This is part of a groundbreaking study co-led by Newcastle University. According [...]
Appia Rare Earths and Uranium Corp Appia Rare Earths and Uranium Corp: Developing critical REE and uranium assets to power tomorrow’s technologies today Appia’s portfolio, spanning regions in Canada rich in both REE and uranium, along with the promising PCH Ionic Adsorption Clay REE project in Brazil, has great potential for our clean energy future. [...]
Rare Element Resources: Advancing cutting-edge rare earth recovery technology Rare Element Resources’ rare earth recovery technology has significant economic and environmental advantages over traditional methods and will be refined and confirmed at a demonstration scale in mid-2024. Rare Element Resources (RER), in cooperation with its technology partner, defence and diversified technology industry leader General Atomics [...]
Researchers explore for rare earths in Alaskan seaweed source:Innovation news network A research team led by the University of Alaska Fairbanks has been awarded a $1.9m federal grant to explore whether Southeast Alaskan seaweed is absorbing rare earths. The study will look at Alaskan seaweed near Bokan Mountain, a remote landmark on Prince of Wales [...]
