NdFeB

A neodymium magnet (also known as NdFeB, NIB or Neo magnet) is the most widely used type of rare-earth magnet. It is a permanent magnet made from an alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron to form the Nd2Fe14B tetragonal crystalline structure. Neodymium magnets are the strongest type of permanent magnet available commercially and commonly used in neo pot magnets.

SmCo

Samarium Cobalt magnets are high-performance energy products ranging to 32MGOe. SmCo magnets are better able to withstand higher temperatures than other rare earth magnets. SmCo magnet is a high performance, low-temperature coefficient permanent magnet made of samarium and cobalt and other rare-earth elements. Its biggest advantage is its high working temperature—350 degree centigrade. It needn’t be coated because it is difficult to be eroded and oxidized.

Alnico

Alnico Magnets can be made by both cast and sintered processes. Alnico Magnets have distinct advantages over other varieties of permanent magnets in terms of moderate prices & widest temperature stability. Alnico is very hard and brittle. Machining or drilling can not therefore be accomplished by ordinary methods. Holes are usually cored in at the foundry. Magnets are cast or sintered as closely as possible to required size so that abrasive grinding to finish dimensions and tolerances are minimized.

Hard Ferrite (Ceramic)

Hard Ferrite (Ceramic) magnet is manufactured from oxide materials using powder metallurgical process. Hard ferrite magnet is most widely used because of its low cost, high-energy, good electric insulation and excellent resistance to demagnetization. The most common type of hard ferrite magnet is anisotropic strontium, anisotropic barium and isotropic barium magnet.

Hard Ferrite (Ceramic) magnet has the following advantages: high coercive force, high electric resistance, long-time stability, and economical price.

FeCrCO

The Iron-Chromium-Cobalt alloys (FeCrCo)are formed either by casting to size or by casting in the form of an ingot which is then rolled and/or drawn either to final shape or to form which can then be cut. Heat treatment is essential to develop the magnetic properties. The magnetic properties can be increased in a preferred direction by applying a magnetic field during heat treatment. Although this alloy is hard and brittle in its fully heat-treated condition, it is sufficiently ductile to be rolled, drawn, machined, turned or threaded prior to its final heat treatment.

FeCrCo Magnets have similar properties to cast Alnico 5 but, unlike cast alnico, the FeCrCo magnets are actually easier to machine than Alnico. FeCrCo can be hot deformed.
The maximum recommended operating temperature is typically around +400 degrees C (752F).

Soft Magnets

Soft magnetic materials are those materials that are easily magnetised and demagnetised.They typically have intrinsic coercivity less than 1000 Am-1.They are used primarily to enhance and/or channel the flux produced by an electric current.

Soft magnetic materials are mainly used in generators, transformers, motors, coils, antennas, switches, etc.
