Magnetic therapy is becoming big business. The global sale of magnets for treatment is valued at over $5 billion yearly. In the US the market is approximately $500 million. Magnetic therapy involves the use of thin metal magnets positioned on or near the skin, alone or in groups. They can also be worn in the

Neodymium magnets vary in shapes and sizes, and different shapes have their own corresponded magnetization directions. Magnetization Direction for Disc & Cylinder Type Disc and Cylinder magnets can be axially or diametrically magnetized. Axial Magnetization Diametrical Magnetization Magnetization Direction for Block Type We define all the magnetization direction for all Neodymium block magnets as Through

Induction motors are the most common type of AC motors (about 80% of all motors) used today in industrial applications due to their simplicity, rugged construction and relatively low manufacturing cost. However, fuel efficiency of this type of motor is still not sufficiently high. Scientists and experts are try for many years to improve the

A Neodymium magnet does not corrode and will retain its performance theoretically forever in dry environment (if not subjected to excessive heat, radiation or strong external magnetic fields). However, if it is placed in a wet environment, the result may be the opposite. The within-structure Iron can ‘rust’ and causes a permanent structural change in

According to their materials, rare earth magnets can be classified into two basal types: Neodymium Iron Boron abate angel magnets and Samarium Cobalt abate angel magnets. Neodymium magnets – Energy online writing go up to 55 MGOe, can achieve absolute top fields; however, about needs to be acclimated in lower temperature applications than Samarium Cobalt

For samarium cobalt magnets Series 1-5 which is shortened as SmCo5, they have one atom of rare earth Samarium and five atoms of Cobalt. By weight this samarium cobalt magnet alloy will typically contain 36% Samarium with the balance Cobalt. The energy products of these samarium cobalt alloys range from 16 MGOe to 25 MGOe.

Neodymium Iron Boron magnets have some advantages over Samarium Cobalt magnets. Neodymium Iron Boron magnets are less expensive, since the main elements Nd and Fe are abundant, and are mechanically stronger. High energy products can be achieved (MCE offers materials as high as 55 MGOe, see N5563). Small production runs have successfully yielded 58 MGOe

Since its first discovery in 1983, Neodymium magnets have quickly entered and dominated many different industries thanks to their unique properties and wide range of applications. China has always been the largest exporter of their raw material, mainly the rare-earth element Neodymium, in the world due to its huge abundance and relatively low prices. However,

Rare-earth elements (REEs) are also known as the lanthanide series in the periodic table of elements. They are not particularly rare in terms of abundance, but for many years remained rarely separated from each other due to their similar chemical characteristics. Rare earth elements are widely used in mature markets (such as catalysts, glassmaking, lighting,
