When choose a magnet material, you need to figure out the requirement you need magnet to do in your application, but not blindly pursue high performance magnetic material; and then get a comprehensive understanding of different magnetic materials. If you have confusion on some point, you can ask for technical help from magnet specialist or manufacturer.

This is just a brief introduction for choosing magnetic material, please click here for more information.

Neodymium Iron Boron Magnet contains rare earth metals like neodymium (Nd), metallic element iron (Fe), non-metallic element boron (B) and little trace elements, such as dysprosium (Dy), terbium (Tb), cobalt ( Co), niobium (Nb), gallium (Ga), aluminum(Al), copper (Cu), etc.

Neodymium Iron Boron Magnet is based on compound Nd2Fe14B. The molecular formula is similar with Nd2Fe14B. But the magnetic force will be very low or even no magnetic force with exact proportion of Nd2Fe14B. Only when the content of neodymium (Nd) and boron (B) in magnet is higher than nd and B in Nd2Fe14B, it can obtain better magnetic properties.

Neodymium magnet has high coercive force. That means it doesn’t lose its magnetic force and change magnetic property under ordinary circumstances over time.

We assume that the environment is stable (proper temperature & humidity, no strong external magnetic field, no radiation and others), the magnetic force only lose few even after a long time. So in an actual application, we can ignore the influence of time factor on magnetic force.

Ø Magnetic Flow (mWb): tested by coils on a magnetized magnet; magnetic flux is influenced by magnet remanence (Br), size, shape and coils.
Ø Magnetic Moment (vscm): tested by Helmholtz coil; there is only a coil coefficient differences between magnetic flow and magnetic moment.
Ø Surface Flux (Gs): the magnetic force at one point of magnet surface
Ø Irreversible Temperature Attenuation Coefficient for flux (moment): the percentage decline of flux (magnetic moment) after the magnet is placed at certain temperature for a certain time. It mainly depends on magnet intrinsic coercive field（Hcj), shape and size.
Ø Magnetic Declination: tested by  3D coil; the angle between the actual magnetization direction insde a magnet and the theory magnetization direction.

Ø Attractive Force: the interaction force of magnet and steel, depending on remanence(Br), the steel material and the contact mode.

Ø Remanence (Br): also called remanent magnetization; it is the magnetic flux density left behind in a magnet after an external magnetic field is removed when magnet get full magnetized.
Ø Sense magnetic coercivity (Hcb): the reversed magnetic field strength which enables internal magnetization intensity to zero when reverse magnetize a magnet. But the magnetization intensity is not zero actually. It means the reversed magnetic field needed and the magnetization intensity of magnet canceled each other.
Ø intrinsic coercivity (Hcj): the reversed magnetic field strength which enables magnetization intensity to zero.
Ø magnetic energy product (BH) max: the product of B and H at any point on the demagnetization curve; and the maximum value of B × H is called the maximum energy product.
Ø knee coercivity (Hk): the reversed magnetic field strength which enables magnetization intensity to reduce by 10% (or 5%)
Ø Square degrees: the ratio of Hk to Hcj; the theory limit is 1.

Permanent magnet refers to hard magnet with high coercive force, high remanence which can keep constant magnetic force all the time once magnetized.It can be divided into two types:
1. Metal alloy magnets: Nd2Fe14B, SmCo, AlNiCo
2. Ferrite/Ceramic
At present, neodymium iron boron and ferrite are the most widely used magnetic material.

From strong to weak magnetic force, magnets can be listed as below:
Sintered NdFeb ＞ Sm2Co17 ＞ Sm1Co5 ＞ Bonded NdFeB ＞ AlNiCo ＞ Ferrite

As the name suggests, rare earth magnets is a kind of magnet including rare earth metal. Rare earth metal family has 17 members including La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Y, Sc. Rare earth metal Pr, Nd, Dy are used as the raw material of neodymium iron boron, and Sm is used as the raw material of samarium cobalt.

Rare earth metal is very expensive because it is rare resource. It also causes environmental damage in the process of mining. So some countries such as United State, Russia and Australia stop mining and purchase cheap rare earth material or product from China. The fluctuation in rare earth metal price is a very important factor of rare earth magnet price increase.

1. Neodymium Iron Boron Magnet
Sintered Neodymium Iron Boron Magnet is the most powerful and cost-effective magnet in the world. It is widely used in computer, motor, wind turbines, electric vehicles, instrumentation, magnetic drive bearing, high fidelity speakers, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging, and aerospace navigator. It also plays a great role in new technologies such as maglev train. Cheap Pr-Nd metal replaces purity Nd to improve its resistance to oxidation and mechanical property. Dy is a kind of additive for high grade neodymium iron boron magnet. It can increase magnet coercive force just by 2-3% Dy. With magnet requirement for the high-end product increasing, the demand for Dy is also increasing.

2. Samarium Cobalt Magnet
SmCo is the earliest rare earth magnet in industry including SmCo5 and Sm2Co17. But Sm2Co17 is preferred material at present. The purity of samarium oxide used in SmCo magnet is not very high. From cost consideration, 95% samarium oxide product is enough.

Yes.There are two industry associations create a set of standards.

The Magnetic Materials Producers Association (MMPA) publishes standards for the production of magnetic materials

The Magnet Distributors and Fabrications Association (MDFA) produces standards on various ways of testing magnets and magnetic devices.
