  2. Samarium–cobalt magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samariumcobalt_magnet

    A samariumcobalt (SmCo) magnet, a type of rare-earth magnet, is a strong permanent magnet made of two basic elements: samarium and cobalt. They were developed in the early 1960s based on work done by Karl Strnat at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Alden Ray at the University of Dayton .

  3. Samarium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samarium

    An important use of samarium is samariumcobalt magnets, which are nominally SmCo 5 or Sm 2 Co 17. [104] They have high permanent magnetization, about 10,000 times that of iron and second only to neodymium magnets. However, samarium magnets resist demagnetization better; they are stable to temperatures above 700 °C (1,292 °F) (cf. 300–400 ...

  4. Rare-earth magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare-earth_magnet

    Samariumcobalt magnets (chemical formula: SmCo 5), the first family of rare-earth magnets invented, are less used than neodymium magnets because of their higher cost and lower magnetic field strength. However, samariumcobalt has a higher Curie temperature, creating a niche for these magnets in applications where high field strength is ...

    This magnetic energy value is about 18 times greater than "ordinary" ferrite magnets by volume and 12 times by mass. This magnetic energy property is higher in NdFeB alloys than in samarium cobalt (SmCo) magnets, which were the first type of rare-earth magnet to be commercialized. In practice, the magnetic properties of neodymium magnets depend ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender_Noiseless_Pickups

    Introduced in 2004, they were similar to the Vintage Noiseless pickups, but Lawrence's research into controlling magnetic eddy currents led him to employ miniaturized samarium cobalt alloy magnets instead of Alnico V. Samarium cobalt is a rare earth magnet that is more powerful than the Alnico V magnets traditionally used in pickup design.

    These magnets are cheaper, lighter, and stronger than samariumcobalt magnets. However, they are not superior in every aspect, as neodymium-based magnets lose their magnetism at lower temperatures [52] and tend to corrode, [53] while samariumcobalt magnets do not. [54]

    This plant, the first unit of IREL, was made operational way back in 1952 for processing of monazite, whose capacity was subsequently increased by about three times.Rare Earths Division (RED), Udyogamandal, Aluva is located on the banks of Periyar River in Kerala at a distance of 12 km from the port city of Kochi and 15 km from Kochi International Airport.
