Permanent Magnets Types & Applications At present, commonly used permanent magnets are ferrite magnets, neodymium magnets, SmCo magnets, AlNiCo magnets, rubber magnets, and so on. Each type of the above magnets has its own properties, and their pros & cons are also different. So in this article, let’s take a deeper look at the permanent magnets

What Objects Are Attracted To Magnets?
What Objects Are Attracted To Magnets? Magnets are very useful in our lives. For example, we can use magnets to attract iron nails, iron keys, and iron scraps, etc. So in addition to these objects that are obviously composed of iron, what other objects can be attracted to magnets? First of all, let us first analyze

What Is a Ferrite?
What Is a Ferrite? Generally, permanent magnets can be divided into two major categories: the first category is metal alloy magnets, including neodymium magnets (Nd2Fe14B), samarium cobalt magnets (SmCo), aluminum nickel cobalt magnets (ALNiCO); the second category is ferrites or ceramic magnets. In our last article, we have written about what is an ALNiCO magnet. So in this

Breakthrough in Sustainable Permanent Magnet!
Breakthrough in Sustainable Permanent Magnet! As we all know, most permanent magnets are made of rare-earth metal alloys, but the mining and processing of these materials can produce toxic by-products, leading to ecological damage around rare earth mines and refineries. Now, a group of scientists led by the University of Leeds has made breakthrough progress in finding

What Is an Alnico Magnet & What Is Alnico Magnet Used for?
What Is an Alnico Magnet? Many people who are new to the world of magnets may ask such questions like what is an AlNiCo magnet and what is Alnico magnet used for? In fact, Alnico (aluminum nickel cobalt) is a kind of permanent magnet material that was first successfully developed in the 1930s. It is an alloy composed

SmCo Magnets vs Neodymium Magnets
SmCo Magnets vs Neodymium Magnets SmCo magnets and neodymium magnets (NdFeB magnets) are both permanent magnets. They have the characteristics of wide hysteresis loops, high coercive force, and high remanence, which can maintain constant magnetism once magnetized. Thanks to their excellent properties, they have been widely used in various fields such as electronics, electricity, machinery, transportation,

How to Avoid Neodymium Magnet Corrosion?
How to Avoid Neodymium Magnet Corrosion? Compared with permanent magnet materials such as ferrite, neodymium magnets (NdFeB magnets) have excellent magnetic properties. These magnets are the most powerful permanent magnets and the most commonly used rare earth magnets, which are widely used in electronics, power machinery, medical equipment, toys, packaging, hardware machinery, aerospace, and other
