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 [...]
3D-printed Permanent Magnets Outperform Conventional Versions OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Nov. 1, 2016—Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have demonstrated that permanent magnets produced by additive manufacturing can outperform bonded magnets made using traditional techniques while conserving critical materials. This isotropic, neodymium-iron-boron bonded permanent magnet was 3D-printed at DOE’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility [...]
Speaker and Headphone Magnets Everyone knows that magnets are needed in electroacoustic equipment such as speakers, speakers, and headphones, then -What role do magnets play in electroacoustic devices? -What effect does the magnet performance have on the sound output quality? -Which magnet should be used in speakers of different qualities? Come and explore the speakers [...]
The Role of Samarium and Other Elements in Sintered NdFeB Sintered neodymium iron boron, as its name suggests, is an alloy material consisting of Nd2Fe14B, a compound consisting of three elements: neodymium Nd, iron Fe, and boron B. But sintered neodymium iron boron is not a single phase. .1Fe4B4 phase) and Nd-rich phase (also known [...]
Breakthrough in Sustainable Permanent Magnet! As we all know, most permanent magnets are made of rare-earth metal alloys, but the mining and processing of these materials can produce toxic by-products, leading to ecological damage around rare earth mines and refineries. Now, a group of scientists led by the University of Leeds has made breakthrough progress [...]
Microbes Can Recover Rare-Earth Magnet Materials From Consumer Waste Recycling these materials critical into high-tech products could be crucial as the cost to mine and refine them continue to climb. Rare earth elements (REEs) such as neodymium and dysprosium are essential for technologies like solar and wind energy, advanced vehicles, and modern electronics like smartphones. [...]
Apple using recycled rare earth elements in iPhone 11 Taptic Engine Apple is using recycled rare earth elements in the Taptic Engine Magnets of the new iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, according to Apple's Vice President of environment, policy, and social initiatives Lisa Jackson. The term "rare earth" refers to a set of 17 [...]
Use New Neodymium Magnet in Hybrid Vehicles of Honda Honda Motor Company Ltd. along with Daido Steel Company have co-developed a new neodymium magnet with high heat resistance properties without the need for rare earth metals that will be used in the all-new Honda Freed and future hybrid vehicles. This new development will make the [...]
