Superconducting Magnets: Power Unplugged Superconductivity is a very cool phenomenon in which electrical resistance is overcome with the help of very cold temperatures colder than anything this side of Pluto! Most superconducting magnets are made using an alloy called niobium-titanium "Ni-Ti" for short. You could think of it this way: In a superconducting current, the [...]
A Boost for Permanent Magnets Scientists at TU Darmstadt explored on an atomic level how changes in iron content influence the micro-structure of samarium-cobalt based permanent magnets. Their results were published in Nature Communications. In the long run they could contribute to the development of permanent magnets with improved magnetic performance. These magnets can be [...]
What is Maximum Working Temperature of Permanent Magnet? When designing an application for permanent magnets it is essential to consider the temperature range that the magnet or magnets will be expected to work in. Yet, with so much information available (some of it incorrect) it is possible to associate the wrong magnetic property with the [...]
Introduction to Magnetic Materials A magnetic material is a material that can react to a magnetic field in a certain way. It is called a magnetic material, and generally consists of a transition element such as iron, cobalt, nickel, and alloys thereof, which can directly or indirectly generate magnetism. Magnetic materials are generally classified into [...]
Temperatures of Different Magnets, Magnet's Temperatures Curie Temperature Ferrite : 460 ℃ - 480 ℃ Neodymium magnet: 320℃ - 380℃ SmCo magnet : 800℃ - 850℃ AlNiCo: 860℃ - 900℃ Temperatures of Different Magnets Maximum Operating Temperatures Ferrite : 300℃ Neodymium magnet: 80℃ - 200℃ SmCo5 : 200℃ - 250℃ Sm2Co17 : 300℃ [...]
Sintered SmCo General Information Collectively known as Rare Earth magnets, Samarium Cobalt (SmCo) and Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) magnets are alloys of the Lanthanide group of elements. Rare Earth magnets are the most advanced commercialized permanent magnet materials today. SmCo magnets are available in a number of different grades that span a wide range of [...]
SmCo Rare Earth Magnets Overview Samarium Cobalt Rare Earth magnets (also known as SmCo magnets) are another type of permanent magnet. A big advantage of SmCo magnets is that they can operate at temperatures up to 300 degrees Centigrade. SmCo magnets are widely used in applications in which high operating temperature and high corrosion and [...]
Samarium Cobalt Magnet (SmCo) are powerful magnets rare earth magnets composed of samarium and cobalt. They are commonly used in high performance motors, magnetic couplings and magnetic separators. These are brittle magnets and are prone to cracking and chipping. Samarium Cobalt magnets can be used for high temperature applications where neodymium will not work. [...]
