Neodymium-Iron-Boron(NdFeB)
magnets are recently developed magnetic materials in1980's,
with magnetic characteristics far exceeding those of the Alnico
and Ceramic/Ferrite types. They are alloys of the Rare Earth
group of element-neodymium. The composition is Nd2Fe14B.
Offering the highest energy products ever available in
production permanent magnet materials, NdFeB has been widely
used in high performance stepper, DC, servo, and linear motors,
actuators, loudspeakers, headphones, instrumentation, switches,
relays, magnetic imaging for medical and geophysical
applications, holding systems, magnetic bearings, magnetic
couplings, hard disk drives, etc..
Magnets made from NdFeB ( Neodymium
Iron Boron) are the most powerful permanent magnetic materials
commercially available,
possesses high energy ranging from 8
MGOe to 50MGOe and wonderful coercive force. As the third
generation of Rare Earth permanent magnet, NdFeB products are
less brittle than SmCo, Nd-Fe-B magnet is widely used in motor,
instrument, aviation and the high-tech field.
Neodymium magnets are highly susceptible to corrosion. We offer
a variety of coating and plating options to prevent corrosion
and mechanical damage, such as Metallic Zinc, Nickel,
Nickel+Nickel, Copper+Nickel, Nickel+Copper+Nickel,Gold, Organic
Epoxy, Nickel+Epoxy coating.
Super-Strength Rare Earth
Magnet----Sintered NdFeB magnets, have the characteristics of
:
-
Super strong Br Resident
induction.
-
Excellent demagnetization
resistance capability.
-
Good Price relative to its high
magnetic properties.
-
Coating is needed for NdFeB
(Painting, coating, or
plating is therefore highly recommended for NdFeB. Plating
NdFeB is a difficult process, and commercial plating houses
are unlikely to be able to achieve plating with good
adhesion. Nickel, Zinc, or Tin plating provides good
corrosion resistance for NdFeB magnets. We are also able to
cadmium chromate or aluminum chromate plate NdFeB using
vacuum deposition techniques. A variety of organic coatings
have also been successfully developed for NdFeB, exhibiting
good corrosion resistance characteristics. For especially
harsh environments, it may be advisable to use a combination
of coating techniques, or to encapsulate the material in a
sealed housing)
NdFeB
are available in sintered as well as bonded forms. Sintered
NdFeB parts however, will produce the highest magnetic
properties. NdFeB is sensitive to heat and should not be used in
the environments that exceed 200 degree centigrade. Bonded NdFeB
are generally low in properties due to the special process of
gluing the powder in a mold. The sintered form usually some
finishing operations in order to hold close mechanical
tolerances.Although bonded magnets do not possess magnetic
properties as advanced as those of sintered magnets, they can be
made in shapes and sizes that are difficult to achieve with
sintering.
NdFeB
magnets are brittle (though not as brittle as the SmCo types),
and machining operations should be performed prior to
magnetization, using diamond tools. We are equipped to fabricate
these materials to blueprint specifications.
All NdFeB magnets, except the bonded NdFeB material, are
anisotropic, and can only be magnetized in the orientation
direction. Bonded NdFeB material is isotropic and can be
magnetized in any direction, and with multiple poles, although
special magnetizing fixtures are required for this. |
