Role of Rare-Earth Elements in Permanent Magnet Materials.

Rare-earth Permanent Magnets: New Magnet Materials and Applications

The introduction of rare-earth permanent magnets based on samarium-cobalt in about 1970, and neodymium-iron-boron magnets in the mid-nineteen eighties, has ushered in a new era in hard magnetic materials. This has resulted in a dramatic improvement in permanent magnet performance, with neodymium-iron-boron (Nd2Fe14B) magnets having a magnetic energy product up to an order of magnitude greater t...

- Based Rare - Earth - Free Permanent - Magnet Alloys

This study presents the structural and magnetic properties of melt-spun , , and alloys. Appreciable permanent-magnet properties with a magnetocrystalline anisotropy of about 9.6–16.5 , a magnetic polarization –10.6 kG, and coercivities –3.0 kOe were obtained by varying the composition of these alloys. Structural analysis reveals that the positions of x-ray diffraction peaks of show good agreeme...

Rare earth elements and permanent magnets (invited)

Rare earth (RE) magnets have become virtually indispensible in a wide variety of industries such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, medical, and military. RE elements are essential ingredients in these high performance magnets based on intermetallic compounds RECo5, RE2TM17 (TM: transition metal), and RE2TM14B. Rare earth magnets are known for their superior magnetic properties—high inducti...
