Recycling Rare-earth magnets could transform the green economy source:physics world James McKenzie looks at the work of University of Birmingham spin-off firm HyProMag, which has developed a technique for recycling rare-earth magnets Growth prospects Rare-earth permanent magnets are vital for the “green economy”, but with more than 99% scrapped, the potential market for HyProMag’s recycled [...]
What are magnetic fields? Simply speaking a magnetic field is the region around a magnet. Magnets are made out of mineral called magnetide (or lodestone) which has the property of attracting iron. Scientists use magnetic field lines to represent these magnetic fields. The magnetic field lines of a simple magnet are shown in the picture [...]

Loss of Permanent Magnet Magnetization Due to Cold Temperatures Exposure Loss of magnetization due to cold temperatures exposure is a phenomenon that occurs in various types of materials, particularly in magnetic materials. This phenomenon is commonly known as the “superparamagnetic effect” or “temperature-dependent magnetization.” It results from the thermal agitation of the atomic spins in [...]
Loss of Permanent Magnet Magnetization Caused by Heat Exposure Loss of Magnetization Caused by Heat Exposure - Exposing a magnet to high temperatures can decrease its strength or permanently damage its structure. Usually this happens at very high temperatures, but for certain neodymium magnets this can happen as low as 60°C. Magnets are characterized by [...]
Customised Magnets for The Automotive Industry Automotive challenges The automotive industry operates according to the Just-In-Time (JIT) principle. One of the prerequisites for successful JIT production is a reliable supply chain of suppliers that meet the defined quality requirements. It is important that they can respond to changes in prices, specifications and forecasts. This keeps [...]
