8 Factors to Affect the Magnetic Force of Permanent Magnet

China-Magnets-Source-Material.com | Best Magnetic Solution

The magnetic force for permanent magnet can stay for a long time but it is not really permanent. There are 8 factors which will affect magnetic force.
1. The material formulation
Material formulation limits magnetic properties fundamentally. Sintered ndfeb magnet is the strongest and alnico is the weakest. There is also difference for the same material based on formulation. The magnetic force for grade N45 is higher than grade N35 for the same size magnet.
2. Magnet size and shape
3. The magnetization saturability
Only when full charged, magnetic force can be achieved completely.
4. Design of magnetic circuit
Different magnetized direction, the magnetic force is different. For a cylinder magnet, magnetic force by axial-magnetized is stronger than diameter-magnetized.
5. Working temperature
Magnet is very sensitive to working temperature, especially for sintered ndfeb magnet. The momentary and continuous highest temperature of environment may cause certain demagnetization including recoverable and unrecoverable, reversible and irreversible. According to working temperature range 80-200 celsius, sintered ndfeb magnet is divided into several grade series (N, M, H, SH, UH, AH etc.). The cost will be expensive for high working temperature grade. So you need to consider your working temperature and choose the right grade. The loss of magnetic force can be ignored under working temperature permitted range. But magnetic force will decrease rapidly while working under a limit working temperature for a long time.
6. Working humidity
Sintered ndfeb magnet is easy to be oxidized and then loss its magnetic force. We use coating to avoid this problem. But this is not a permanent solution. So the dryer, the better.
7. External magnetic field
Magnetic force will reduce while placing opposite poles around magnet, only when the magnetic field of opposite poles is several times larger than magnet itself, the reduction will be evident.
8. Strong shock
It will reduce magnetic force, but needs long time.

Permanent Magnet for Motor

China-Magnets-Source-Material.com | Best Magnetic Solution

Permanent magnet for motor is one of important and high-end applications. In order to achieve optimal performance of PM motor, motor designers need to continually change their design and find best material for motor. Several factors will affect the choice of motor magnet.

1. Magnetic Material: Sintered NdFeB, Bonded NdFeB, Ferrite, SmCo, AlNiCo

• Sintered NdFeB magnet has high magnetic performance (including high magnetic flux, remanence, coercive force, resistance to magnetic demagnetization, and low temperature coefficient, loss of irreversible). It can improve motor performance and reduce the volume as well. It is main magnet material for PM motor.
• Bonded NdFeB magnet is well known for good plasticity. It suits for complex shape magnet or magnet with multipole magnetization direction. Usually, mould is needed for its production.
• Ferrite is an old magnet material which used on PM motor. It’s heavy weight but cheap price.
• SmCo can work under high working temperature. The magnetic force is weaker than Sintered NdFeB magnet, but also very powerful.
• AlNiCo with very high working temperature 450-550℃ is the oldest magnet material for motor and replace by ferrite later.

2. Magnet Max. Working Temperature: Sintered NdFeB magnet 150℃ (N35SH, N38SH, N42SH, N45SH), 180℃ (N35UH, N38UH, N40UH) , 200℃ (N35EH, N38EH); Sm2Co17 300℃

 

3. Magnet Working Environment: low weight loss (high corrosion resistance)

 

4. Magnet Coating: NiCuNi, Zn, Black epoxy, Grey epoxy etc. To make full use of magnet performance and control tolerance well, sometimes the plating of magnet uses phosphorization or passivated for temporary protection

 

5. Magnet Shape: segment (arc), wedge, bread, block, ring, or special shape

 

6. Magnetized direction: it depends on magnet design. In order to get best performance, magnetic declination can’t be ignored.

 

7. Magnet tolerance: a lot of motor magnets are made of segment magnets, and small tolerance is very important to reduce air gap and assemble a ring.

Price of Magnet is Keeping Increasing And No Reduction Nowadays

As we all know, the rare earth (the raw material of magnet) is non-renewable resources. 

However, China has exported the magnets at low price over 10 years. 
Now the goverment has to regluate and control the rare earth mine and the whole rare earth industry because of the rare earth will be less and less day by day.
So price of magnet is keeping increasing and no reduction nowadays.

Here, let’s introduce the use of NdFeB magnet in the market.

As the third generation permanent magnet material, NdFeB magnet has rather high properties. The NdFeB magnets apply to the industries for energy sources, transportation, machinery, medical treatment, IT, and home appliance. Especially with the development of information technology, it brings so many new uses for the NdFeB magnets.

In the electro-acoustic industry, the loudspeaker, receiver, microphone, annunciator all are using NdFeB.

In the electrical machine industry, they also can’t work without NdFeB magnet, such as VCM, CDDVD-ROM, dynamo, electromotor, micro machine, ac motor and so on.

In conclusion, it is a new sight to use more and more NdFeB products in our modern daily life.

The core technology of Neodymium Rare Earth Magnet is mainly reflected in manufacturing. The advantage of Neodymium Rare Earth Magnets products is strong magnetic force, high consistency of magnetic force, high coercive force and so on. 

Cast Alnico by china-magnets-source-material.com

According to the productive technology, the alnico divides into Sintered Alnico and Cast alnico. There are round, rectangle, segment, and different irregular shapes. It can be manufactured into different sizes and shapes by casting technique. Comparing to casting technique, the Sintered magnets products are limited in small size. The tolerance of semi-finished product of Sintered Alnico is better than the semi-finished product of Cast Alnico, but the magnetic properties is lower than Cast alnico.

The advantage of Cast alnico is high in remanence (max 1.35T), low in temperature coefficient (T.C.), and the highest temperature can be 550°C. However, what is the disadvantage of Cast alnico? Its coercive force is very small. The demagnetizing curve of cast alnico is irregular. Therefore, the cast alnico is easy to magnetize, and easy to demagnetize in the same way.
