HOT FORMED NdFeB MAGNETS (MQ3)

Hot Formed NdFeB radially oriented ring magnets are produced by a unique hot extrusion process. As base nanocrystalline powder material is used made by rapid quenching (Neodymium) alloys. This powder material is hot pressed and then hot extruded into ring-shaped magnets. During this advanced hot extrusion process the radial orientation is created mechanically (orientation of the crystal grains is done without using any external electromagnetic field). Resulting in a full-dense, nanocrystalline structure with the highest level of radial orientation.

Main advantages of Hot Formed NdFeB Magnets (MQ3)

  • Due to the nanocrystalline structure of the grains a substantially lower amount of Dy is used compared to sintered NdFeB magnets.
  • Dy-free magnets can be made even with high coercivity level.
  • Ease of assembly (1 piece only).
  • Various magnetization patterns possible (multi-pole to uni-pole, various skew angles) by the design of magnetizing fixtures.
  • Precise magnetization waveform control (f.e. rectangular, trapezoidal, sinusoidal) for high power or low cogging.
  • Precise pole transition.
  • Excellent corrosion resistance due to the absence of internal porosity (full dense material).
  • Ring magnets with very small outer diameter are possible (due to mechanical orientation).
