(Austin.CityRegions.Com, February 14, 2014 ) Austin, Texas -- Neodymium magnets are becoming more common and used in more and more applications. The powerful magnet uses are many. From around the house on simple things like frig magnets and utensil holders to industrial applications like audio speakers and high powered electric motors.
Neodymium magnets are ten times stronger than ceramic magnets which allows the use of much smaller magnets to perform the same function. neodymium magnets are recognized as the world's strongest permanent magnets.
3P Company has revealed the secret to how these little wonders are made with an article added to their website. Although not a simple process, it does reveal just how these world strongest magnets are made. The process also explains why the cost of neodymium magnets are higher than other type of magnets like ceramic magnets.
With a more complex process and more expensive raw materials being involved, it is no wonder that neodymium magnets are more expensive. Then again, neodymium magnets are ten times stronger so you are getting more bang (pull force) for your buck.
The sintering process is where the magic occurs. Sintering is a process of combining a powdered neodymium, iron, and boron mix in a sintering furnace. Both heat (just over 1000 degrees C) and pressure in the vacuum of the furnace cause the neodymium to melt but the iron and boron do not melt. The molten neodymium adheres to the iron and boron particles. It is this process that aligns the molecular structure of the raw materials (Neodymium, Iron, and Boron) in such a way that the alloy can hold the strongest magnetic field permanently.
Also covered is why neodymium magnets are always covered in some way. They are always plated, most commonly with nickle, or some other coating to prevent corrosion as the alloy is very acceptable to oxidation from the air and moisture. Once properly plated and magnetized, they are ready for use.
