What is Neodymium Magnet and its Application

Published on June 19 2014

A neodymium magnet (also known as NdFeB, NIB or Neo magnet), the most widely used sort of rare earth magnet, is just a permanent magnet created from a mix of neodymium, metal and boron to create the Nd2Fe14B tetragonal crystalline structure.

Created in 2004 Dongguan Jiada Magnetics Co., Ltd, Neodymium Magnets would be the best kind of permanent magnet available.

They've changed other forms of magnet within the many applications in modern items that require powerful permanent magnets, such as motors in magnetic fasteners, hard disk drives and cordless tools.

The tetragonal Nd2Fe14B crystal structure has extremely large uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy (HA~7 teslas - magnetic field strength H in A/m versus magnetic moment in A.m2).

This provides the compound the potential to have high coercivity (i.e., opposition to being demagnetized). Therefore, whilst the maximum energy density is proportional to Js2, this magnetic cycle has the potential for storing large amounts of magnetic energy (BHmax ~ 512 kJ/m3 or 64 MG·Oe). This house is considerably higher in NdFeB materials than in samarium cobalt (SmCo) magnets, of the initial form of rare earth magnet to become commercialized. In practice, the magnetic properties of neodymium magnets be determined by manufacturing process used, microstructure, and the mix structure.

Because Custom Block Magnet greater energy permits the usage of smaller, lighter magnets for a given application neodymium magnets have replaced ferrite and alnico magnets in many of the myriad applications in modern tools where solid permanent magnets are needed.

A few examples are:

Head actuators for computer devices

Magnetic guitar pickups

Mechanical e cigarette firing switches

Locks for doors

Loudspeakers and headphones

Benchtop NMR spectrometers
