Magnets are surrounded by myths and oversimplifications. Here are several common misconceptions and the engineering reality behind them. Myth 1: Magnets Automatically Destroy Electronics Reality: The effect depends on field strength, distance and the type of device. Strong magnets can interfere with some sensors, magnetic storage media and devices that rely on magnetic components, but...Read More

Neodymium magnets, also known as NdFeB magnets, are a type of rare earth magnet that are made of an alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron. They are the strongest type of permanent magnet available and are used in a wide range of applications, including: Electric motors and generators: Neodymium magnets are commonly used in the...Read More

Magnet technology has come a long way since its inception. With the advent of new materials and production techniques, magnets have become more powerful and versatile than ever before. One such type of magnet is the SmCo magnet, which has been gaining popularity in recent years due to its high energy and low cost. In...Read More

Magnets are used throughout industrial manufacturing, material handling, automation, separation, sensing and quality-control applications. Their role extends far beyond consumer products: magnetic components help manufacturers move, separate, detect, hold and control materials in production environments. Mining and Material Separation Magnetic separators are widely used to recover ferrous material and remove unwanted metallic contamination from bulk...Read More

Alnico magnets are a strong option when temperature stability is more important than maximum magnetic strength. Learn where Alnico fits, why low coercivity affects design, and how it compares with high-temperature NdFeB and SmCo.Read More

Compare ferrite vs. neodymium magnets by strength, size, cost, corrosion resistance, temperature and applications. Learn when ferrite is the better choice, when NdFeB is worth the higher energy density, and what to evaluate before switching materials.Read More

Neodymium magnets are made through a multi-step manufacturing process that turns rare-earth raw materials into a precisely controlled permanent-magnet alloy. 1. Alloy Production Neodymium magnets are not made from pure neodymium. They are typically based on an alloy of neodymium, iron and boron, with additional elements used as needed to achieve specific coercivity and temperature-performance...Read More
