A neodymium magnet (also known as NdFeB, NIB or Neo magnet) is a permanent magnet made from an alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron to form the Nd 2 Fe 14 B tetragonal crystalline structure. [1] They are the most widely used type of rare-earth magnet .
In December 2021, MP Materials signed a long-term agreement with General Motors to provide neodymium-iron-boron magnets for use in GM's electric vehicle motors. [20] As part of the contract, MP Materials also agreed to provide alloy and finished magnets to GM for its electric vehicles [ 21 ] and to open a new factory located in Fort Worth ...
A neodymium magnet of a few tens of grams can lift a thousand times its own weight, and can snap together with enough force to break bones. These magnets are cheaper, lighter, and stronger than samarium–cobalt magnets. However, they are not superior in every aspect, as neodymium-based magnets lose their magnetism at lower temperatures [52 ...
This is a list of prices of chemical elements. Listed here are mainly average market prices for bulk trade of commodities. Listed here are mainly average market prices for bulk trade of commodities. Data on elements' abundance in Earth's crust is added for comparison.
Under "Description", it states that "As of 2008 neodymium magnets cost about $44/kg, $1.40 per BHmax.". I had removed this information since I feel it's irrelevant to an encyclopedic entry. Someone then undid my revision, and re-instated the price.
Of the more commonly available magnets, only rare-earth magnets such as neodymium and samarium-cobalt are stronger. Alnico magnets produce magnetic field strength at their poles as high as 1500 gauss (0.15 tesla ), or about 3000 times the strength of Earth's magnetic field .
Penny-sized ferrite magnet: 10 −1 T: decitesla: 100 mT: 1 kG: Penny-sized neodymium magnet: 150 mT: 1.5 kG: Sunspot: 10 0 T tesla 1 T: 10 kG: Inside the core of a 60 Hz power transformer (1 T to 2 T as of 2001) [10] [11] or voice coil gap of a loudspeaker magnet (1 T to 2.4 T as of 2006) [12] 1.5 T to 7 T: 15 kG to 70 kG
Ferrofluid on glass, with a rare-earth magnet underneath. A rare-earth magnet is a strong permanent magnet made from alloys of rare-earth elements.Developed in the 1970s and 1980s, rare-earth magnets are the strongest type of permanent magnets made, producing significantly stronger magnetic fields than other types such as ferrite or alnico magnets.
