Characteristics of Isotropic SmFeN bonded magnets
- Highest (BH)max among isotropic bonded magnets: ~112kJ/m3 (compression molded magnet)
- High corrosion resistance: Does not require coating in typical usage environment
- High thermal stability:
Temperature coefficient of Br, α -0.06 ~ -0.07% /℃ (23 ~ 120℃) - Long-term thermal stability: Superior to Nd-Fe-B bonded magnets
- Injection molding:
Available with PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) which has excellent heat and chemical resistance. - Magnetizability: Requires higher magnetic fields than Nd-Fe-B bonded magnets
- Isotropic → Can be magnetized in any direction, realize flux paths with high permeance.
- Lower supply risk of raw materials (HREE-free, use of surplus rare earth – Sm)
