The Coming Revolution in MnBi High-Strength Magnets Expensive rare-earth magnets that power high-performance motors could be on the wane within a few years thanks to new materials now emerging from research labs. Motor manufacturers that want to impress engineers often bring up the fact that their high-performance motors use rare-earth magnets. But that may soon [...]
New alternatives may ease demand for scarce rare-earth permanent magnets Single crystals of CeCo3 synthesized by solution growth method. From computer hard discs and smart phones to earbuds and electric motors, magnets are at the forefront of today's technology. Magnets containing rare-earth elements are among the most powerful available, allowing many everyday objects to be [...]
Scientists create cheaper magnetic material for cars, wind turbines Scientist Arjun Pathak arc melts material in preparation for producing a new type of magnet. Karl A. Gschneidner and fellow scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory have created a new magnetic alloy that is an alternative to traditional rare-earth permanent magnets. The new [...]
List Of Ferromagnetic Metals Ferromagnetism, the ability of a substance to magnetize, is a property that depends on the chemical composition, crystalline structure, temperature and microscopic organization of the material. Metals and alloys are most likely to exhibit ferromagnetism, but even lithium gas has also been shown to be magnetic when cooled to less than [...]
Programs for Recycling Rare Earth Metals Have you ever wondered if you can recycle magnets? Previously, old magnets could not be recycled to reuse the rare earth metals inside them, but new methods have been developed that have made it worthwhile to reuse the material inside magnets. Magnets made with rare earth metals are used [...]
The Future of Cerium And Its Effects On the Permanent Magnet Industry Cerium, for one, is not a useable component of current permanent magnet creation, but nonetheless is critical to the health of the industry. However, the way established markets run for rare earth metals, sister minerals mined must be a significant factor when calculating [...]
What Magnets are Stronger than Neodymium Magnet? Rare earth magnets are the strongest type of the permanent magnets manufactured and are integral to the high tech industry, especially in the clean energies, like the wind turbine generators and the electric vehicle motors. China extracts and it produces over 95% of the world’s rare earth minerals, [...]
Are Rare Earth Magnets Metals Really “Rare”? Rare Earth Magnets Metals Rare Earth Magnets Metals/Rare Earth Metals are a gathering of 17 metallic components with comparative properties and structures that are crucial in the assembling of a various and extending show of high-engineering provisions. They are basic segments in hi-tech items including advanced cells and [...]
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 [...]
Grain Boundary Diffusion- Conserving HREE in NdFeB Magnets Grain Boundary Diffusion is an important new advance in Neodymium magnet production technology. Heavy Rare Earth Elements (HREE) are delivered directly to critical areas of the magnet’s microstructure. These areas are where HREE are the most effective at increasing the properties of the magnet to withstand high [...]
Rare Earth Metals: Heavy vs. Light The 17 elements that make up the group of rare earth metals are diverse in their applications and market dynamics. They are often broken up into two categories according to their atomic weight: light and heavy. Overall, the different rare earth metals play a huge role in the development [...]
Shortages of rare earth elements could limit clean energy development Rare earth elements — elements like scandium, neodymium, and dysprosium — have found their way into every aspect of our daily lives, from the highly visible, like smartphones and fluorescent lamps, to the seemingly invisible: hybrid cars, rechargeable batteries, and wind turbines. There are even [...]
