Ushering of a New Era by N52 Magnets
With the advancement in technology making earlier equipments obsolete by the minute, it is of vital importance to make new tools keeping in pace with the newer technologies if further progress is to be made.
Magnets being one of the basic necessities of almost any appliances in use today, for a long time scientists have been engaged in the task of producing a really powerful magnet that will be able to bear the brunt of the most strenuous experiments as well as be used for commercial purposes.
With the production of the N52 magnets - the most powerful magnet ever made, the job seems to have finally been done, at least for the time being.
Structure and Functions of N52 Magnets
N52 magnets are in effect a class of the neodymium magnets. This rare earth magnet possesses a crystalline tetragonal structure having iron, boron and neodymium as its constituent elements. Due to its uniquely high magnetocrystalline anisotropy, the N52 magnets have a high coercivity. Its saturation magnetization is also very high.
The only drawback of this type of magnet is a comparatively lower Curie temperature. The N52 magnet can be produced both by the powered sintered magnet process as well as the bonded magnet process. Both varieties of the magnets come with their pros and cons with regards to shape, magnetic force etc and are used accordingly.
Due to their unique properties, N52 magnets have already gained much ground over other types of magnets. In many instances, it has replaced other varieties of magnets. Some of the commonest sectors in which N52 magnets are used are in the production of hard disks, headphones, magnetic bearings, electric motors, cordless tools, compressor motors and motors for hybrid vehicles. Use of this magnet has also expanded into newer territories like making of jewelry clasps, adventure sports gears and so on.
Due to the enormous magnetic force generated by the magnet, it is enough to use a small block in most cases. Thus, the precision of the instrument is increased while bulk is reduced.
Risks Involved in the Use of N52 Magnets
Not for nothing is N52 magnets the most powerful magnet ever made. They have the ability to greatly damage body parts, to the extent of breaking bones, if they are pressed between two small pieces of magnet.
Also, as the magnetic fields produced by the N52 magnets are very powerful, electronic devices coming within their range tend to malfunction or become completely nonfunctional.
Neodymium Rare Earth magnets
Why do we need Neodymium Rare Earth magnets?
Man has always been fascinated by magnets. Their power to attract pieces of iron had been one of the mysteries of the ancient world. Magnetism was something no one truly understood, but it was something to be revered.
As Man begun understanding magnetism, so its applications increased in the various walks of life. It was magnets in the ancient world that helped sailors find their directions with compasses. Magnets had always been known for possessing a power to heal. This was known and practiced by the early Chinese.
Magnets eventually found their way into the heart of almost every device imaginable. Ranging from the electric motors and transformers to latest computers, all employ magnetism. Permanent magnets are ubiquitously present in almost all electronic devices.
With development in applications of magnets, also came development of magnetic materials. The old iron magnets of old have now been replaced by much more powerful ones. The most powerful magnets today are Neodymium Rare Earth magnets.
Neodymium Rare Earth magnets are characterized by their incredibly strong magnetic field coupled with their inexpensive price.
What exactly are Neodymium Rare Earth magnets?
Neodymium Rare Earth magnets are the strongest and most popular type of rare earth magnets. They are made from an alloy consisting of Nickel, Iron and Boron. The structure formed has a crystalline structure which helps in formation of the magnetic poles in the material. Neodymium magnets are extremely strong and have replaced most of the earlier magnets. Their incredible magnetic field is down to their extremely high magnetic coercivity and anisotropy.
The magnetic field of Neodymium Rare Earth magnets is about 1.5 Tesla (unit of magnetism) while that of traditional ferrite magnets is about 0.5 tesla. Neodymium magnets are manufactured by either the sintering technique or the rapid solidification or bonded magnet process.
Property differences among Neodymium Rare Earth magnets may be due to the amount of nickel, iron and boron present in the alloy, manufacturing processes, etc.
Where are Neodymium Rare Earth magnets used?
Neodymium Rare Earth magnets have replaced ferrite or alnico permanent magnets in almost all fields.
They are especially effective in situations where high magnetic power is required in a low corrosion environment. This makes them ideal for use as:
- Actuators in hard disk drives
- Loudspeakers, microphones and headphones
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) used in medical purposes
- Permanent motors of different kinds
- Magnetic jewellery
- Children’s toys
These and other applications of Neodymium Rare Earth magnets have made them a big success.

Radially magnetized ring magnets
What are radially magnetized ring magnets?
Since the advent of the industrial age man has been on a relentless run of progress. He has undertaken daring projects and built on so many of his innovative ideas that we are surrounded by technology in our present day lives. He built factories and machines to help to build more and bigger factories and machines during the industrial age.
Then came the age of computers and he secluded himself to an office corner to do his work. But his thirst for knowledge was hardly quenched. This innovation and technology which entails such ease of living came at a high price to the earth.
Man turned to the earth’s underbelly, rich with minerals and metals and oil and various other things. He dug them all up and used them to fuel his need for progress.
One such natural resource is magnets. We use them a lot in our daily lives. Here we discuss a very special type of magnets called the radially magnetized ring magnets.
How are radially magnetized ring magnets made?
Radially magnetized ring magnets may be made of many materials. One can use soft iron cores to make such magnets. Also one can use rare earth materials to make such magnets. Such magnets are very strong because of the strong magnetic properties of the rare earth metals. One such component which can be used to make magnets is NIB (NdFeB) or neodymium alloys.
The alloys are passed through different types of treatment to make them into ring magnets. Radially magnetization of ring magnets is particularly hard as these materials tend not to stay together and suddenly may gain multipoles.
The alloys are passed through a hot pressing facility where it is grinded to powder form and then melted and solidified to form the radial shape and to lose its magnetic polar properties.
Then the ring shaped alloy undergoes a specialized backward extrusion process where it is electrically charged and treated to form the radial magnetized ring magnet of super high strength.
This process results in radial magnetization as the magnetic pole are on the flat surfaces of the ring. These magnets are still very prone to chipping and rusting if the iron is exposed to air.
Hence they need to be coated to prevent corrosion. Also because of their high strength they need to be handled with extreme care as they may cause damage to the human body.
Where are radially magnetized ring magnets used?
These radially magnetized ring magnets of rare earth metals can come in various sizes, very small to large. Hence they find a wide range of applications in toys, servo motors and other small and powerful devices where high magnetic flux densities are required.
These magnets simplify rotor construction to a great extent.

People and magnets
In the days of Genesis, man did not need anything, but the absolute necessities, such as breathing, eating, drinking and sleeping. Once, all man had to do was to survive, to live day by day. However, as time went by, man grew smarter. He realized that there is more to life than surviving. He realized you should enjoy life while it lasts!
Thus, the great human mind made us open our eyes and look around us. Instead of just enjoying the view, we thought, "why not use it too?" at first, it was the little things. Wooden sticks became a skeleton to a house, stones and rocks became walls and mud became plaster.
Then, man started to see the land as a cover, as a layer one can dig in to find other things, other layers. It had to contain something good, since plants seem to grow and nourish from it. And so, years and years have passed and digging the ground hasn't stopped since. We are even digging at sea today. Well look and behold, that digging paid off. Many elements were discovered over the years, like silver, gold, oil etc. among those elements we have discovered rare earth magnets.
These are like an old pirate's hidden gold treasure. Despite their name, these magnets are not so rare (however please bear in mind that none of Earth's elements are infinite), and are useful in oh so many different ways, and in a huge variety of fields.
Usage of rare earth magnets
So, what can we do with this ancient pirate's treasure? They have been lying down deep inside the belly of our planet, waiting to be discovered, waiting to be used. It's only fair to Earth that we'll explore it and use these natural resources to help improve our lives here, as they were manufactured by it for a reason.
Thus, after years and years of exploring, researching, inventing, and developing, we can say that rare earth magnets are in use in almost every aspect of our lives.
You'd be amazed at the products and devices that contain these magnets. Starting at aircrafts, ships and space shuttles, missiles, and vehicles, through computers and radio, to home exercise devices (like magnetic treadmill or magnetic bikes). Today we can even use them to produce electricity!
Why use rare earth magnets?
The options to benefit from them are endless, and they are much cheaper (thus more available) than other magnets, which are also more difficult to work with. Actually, the more uses we can find for rare earth magnets instead of other natural resources, the more we will benefit.

Neodymium magnets
Meet the new attraction - the Neodymium magnets
Ever since it began to be in use, technology is getting a stronger grip on our lives. We cannot imagine our world today without technology in it. What's the secret? Well, it's not much of a secret. Every kid knows that technology is here to improve our lives, to make it easier on us, in this fast moving world.
Except for the obvious technological inventions and fields, we were recently introduced to an intriguing and promising field - the rare earth magnets field. Amongst the several types of these magnets we recognize a type named on a large scale - the Neodymium magnets. These very special magnets are the new game everyone wants to play with. Scientists are exploring this territory for only a few decades and already we can see the results in practice.
If once we thought electricity was the invention of the century or even the millennium, now we understand that planet Earth still holds great mysteries for us to discover. As mentioned, Neodymium magnets are one of those mysteries we're beginning to unlock. They have so many uses, that it would be wrong of us to ignore their existence.
With the kindest help from our beloved planet and the assistance of scientists and businessmen, there's no limit to the progress we can reach. As you know, human kind reached its place in top of the food chain by using his brain to get to higher places, to places "where no man has gone before".
What are Neodymium magnets good for?
In the short time we had to research and explore this newly exposed territory, we can confidently say that all technological, medical and electronic fields will have a great benefit from using any kind within the several kind of Neodymium magnets.
These magnets are super strong and condensed, and may be used in various forms and conditions - whatever will answer your requirements. As such, medical devices built using Neodymium magnets can function better and in a more accurate way (just like the MRI scanner works so much better than a simple CT scan).
Moreover, electronic devices may be released from their 'leash', and perform without being plugged to an electricity connection. Furthermore, the known ultra strength of the Neodymium magnets has opened up a whole new aspect to consider while inventing and developing devices that wouldn't normally involve magnets.
We haven't heard the last from Neodymium magnets yet
From looking at its usage up until now, we can guarantee that we'll be hearing a lot more from the subfield of Neodymium magnets. From the way things look now, it's going to do good to mankind, and just as important - to our planet Earth.
