12 Things You Didn’t Know About Rare Earth Metals 1 They’re Not That Rare. Most of the rare earth metals really aren’t that rare. Cerium (Ce) is the most abundant rare earth metal, followed by Lanthanum (La), and then Neodymium (Nd). Cerium, Lanthanum and Neodymium are all more abundant than Lead (Pb). 2 It’s actually [...]
Bonded Magnet Materials and Processing Options Bonded magnets are an important but often overlooked group of products that magnetic circuit and device designers should consider when choosing the optimum permanent magnet type for their specific application need. In their most basic form bonded magnets consist of two components; a hard magnetic powder and a non-magnetic [...]
WIND TURBINE & GENERATOR MAGNETS wind turbine generator magnets - Wind power generation is one of the important applications of neodymium magnets. At present, the installed capacity of wind power in the world has exceeded 200 million kWh. However, due to excessive expansion and the sharp rise in rare earth raw materials and other factors, [...]
ORNL licenses Rare Earth Magnet Recycling Process to Momentum Technologies The Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Momentum Technologies have signed a non-exclusive licensing agreement for an ORNL process designed to recover rare earth magnets from used computer hard drives. Rare Earth Magnet Recycling Process The patent-pending process developed as part of DOE’s [...]
University of Birmingham pilots rare earth metal recycling facility The University of Birmingham has been awarded £4m to set up a pilot facility to recycle rare earth metals from scrap. The pilot facility, based at Tyseley Energy Park in Birmingham, will focus on recycling magnets made from neodymium, boron and iron – metals often found [...]

HOW TO CHOOSE STRONG MAGNETIC RODS FOR THE FOOD INDUSTRY? Strong magnetic bar is a production equipment that guarantees the safety and quality of products. The ceramic industry and the food industry have been widely used and become one of the production equipments. The strong magnetic rod used in the pharmaceutical and food industries is [...]
Bonded NdFeB Magnets, Bonded Neo Magnets This isotropic resin bonded Neodymium-Iron-Boron material offers a high energy product (3-13 MGOe) between Ferrite and Sintered NdFeB. Application's include sensors and precision motors because it can be produced in complex shapes and magnetisation patterns.Capable of operating up to 120ºC, these magnets may be machined provided that adequate coolant [...]
Sintered Magnet Market Estimated to Experience a Hike in Growth by 2026 Sintered magnets refer to permanent magnets manufactured through a metallurgical process called sintering which involves heating and compacting (finely pulverized) magnetic powder into the desired shape and size. Liquid phase sintering is the preferred process for manufacturing permanent sintered magnets. Post sintering, these [...]
Accelerator Magnets – Powerful and High Heat Permanent Magnets After the invention of the alternating gradient principle, researchers began to use permanent magnet in accelerators. It shows that the magnetic fields could be used to control the transverse envelope of charged-particle beams. Since that time, permanent-magnet materials have found wide application in the modern charged [...]
A Way to Cover Neodymium Magnets Neodymium iron boron (NIB) magnets are extremely powerful. Even moderate-sized ones can be amazingly dangerous to handle at first. Cover Neodymium Magnets In this project I demonstrate a simple, cheap, relatively effective way to cover 2-inch (5cm x 2.5cm x 1cm) NIB magnets. This size is commonly used in [...]
