Why is NdFeB called "magnetic king"?



  Artificial magnets appeared in the eighteenth Century, but the process of
making higher magnetic materials was slow until 1920s. Then, in 1948, made of 
ferrite, created in 70s (SmCo), samarium cobalt rare earth magnet Nd-Fe-B magnet was born in 1986, this is the world's strongest magnet up to now. The physical magnetic technology has been rapid development of NdFeB magnet materials also makes the components more compact, and quickly spread in the industry, China Nd-Fe-B magnet industry ushered in the rapid development of the new world.

     First, NdFeB , simply speaking, is a magnet, and we usually see the difference is that the magnet, because of its excellent magnetic properties and  called "magnetic king."". Neodymium iron boron contains a large number of rare earth elements neodymium, iron and boron, its characteristics are hard and brittle. Because the surface is easily oxidized and corroded, NdFeB must be treated with surface coating. Surface chemical passivation is one of the best solutions.
   Second, as the magnetic NdFeB rare earth permanent magnet material with high coercive force and the product, at the same time, the advantages of high energy density, the Nd-Fe-B permanent magnetic materials have been widely used in modern industry and electronic technology, so that the instrument, electro acoustic electric, magnetic magnetization and other small, equipment the lightweight, thin possible. The advantages of NdFeB is cost-effective, with good mechanical properties; shortcomings of low working temperature, temperature difference, and easy powder corrosion, surface treatment must be adjusted by the chemical composition and take to improve, in order to meet the requirement of practical application.
  Third, NdFeB magnetic material, as the latest development of rare earth permanent magnet material, NdFeB magnetic material is praseodymium neodymium metal and boron alloy. Also called magnetic steel. NdFeB has a very high energy product and coercive force, and the advantages of high energy density, the Nd-Fe-B permanent magnetic materials have been widely used in modern industry and electronic technology, so that the instrument, electro motor, magnetic magnetization devices such as miniaturization, lightweight, thin as possible. Sintered NdFeB permanent magnetic material has excellent magnetic properties, widely used in electronics, electrical machinery, medical equipment, toys, packaging, hardware machinery, aerospace and other fields, there are the more common permanent magnet motors, speakers, computer disk drives, magnetic separator, magnetic resonance imaging instrument etc..

WHAT IS NEODYMIUM AND WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT?

  The average American consumer probably has never heard of neodymium. But that substance — along with other so-called rare earth elements — is essential to the functioning of technologies we take for granted on a daily basis.   Rare-earths refer to 17 naturally occurring chemical elements on the periodic table. Despite the name, they aren’t particularly rare, existing in relative abundance in the earth’s crust. Cerium, an oxidizing agent, is as plentiful as copper, while radioactive promethium is the least common.   These elements typically occur together in nature and are difficult to separate from one another. The mining process is costly, time-consuming, and often involves a technique known as open-pit mining that creates huge holes and disrupts the surrounding ecosystem. Such a process was used at mountain pass, the last remaining US rare-earth mine before it was shuttered in 2002.   In a drastic shift, the US went from being the leading...

Global High Performance NdFeB industry trends and forecast of supply and demand in 2017

  In 2016, the total output of NdFeB was about 146 thousand tons, of which China's NdFeB production capacity was about 130 thousand tons, accounting for 89% of the world. On the specific varieties, the current sintered NdFeB material occupies NdFeB major market, accounting for about 94%. 2001 - in 2016, the average annual growth rate of global sintered NdFeB was 16%.   In 2015, the global demand for high performance NdFeB was about 54 thousand and 700 tons, an increase of 12% compared with the same period. It is estimated that the industry demand will reach 92 thousand tons by 2020, with an average annual growth rate of around 12%. At present, the total capacity of NdFeB in China is as high as 300 thousand tons, and the vast majority of excess production capacity is concentrated in the low-end consumption areas of ndfeb.   The manufacturing technology of NdFeB is very complicated, and it needs a long time of technology accumulation to obtain stable quality an...
