Magnetic Materials

Ferromagnetic materials are divided into two categories:

  • Soft Magnetic Materials
    • Easy to magnetise and demagnetise
    • Commonly used for making temporary magnets
  • Hard Magnetic Materials
    • Materials that retain their magnetism even after the removal of the applied magnetic field and are difficult to demagnetise
    • Used for making permanent magnets
    • Made from Rare Earth Metals, Aluminium Nickel Cobalt (AlNiCo) Alloys and Ferrites

Typical Ferromagnetic Materials include:

  • Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) Magnets
    • Strongest Permanent Magnet
    • High Energy Product
    • High Coercive Force
  • Aluminium Cobalt Nickel (AlNiCo) Magnets
    • Good Temperature Stability
    • Good Resistance to Demagnetisation
    • High Residual Induction
    • High Energy
  • Samarium Cobalt (SmCo) Magnets
    • High Magnetic Properties
    • Excellent Thermal Stability
    • High Resistance to Corrosion and Oxidation
  • Ferrite Magnets (Iron Oxide + Strontium Carbonate)
    • Also Known as Ceramic Magnets
    • Most Commonly used Permanent Magnets
    • Excellent Corrosion and Demagnetisation Resistance Properties

As such, the properties of these magnets allow them to be used in the Electronic, Medical and Automotive Industries.

Magnetic Materials shapes consist of Disc, Ring, Rectangle, Bar, Cylinder, Plate & Custom-shaped.
