Rare earth magnets have revolutionized the world of magnetics in the last few decades. Their development began in the 1970’s. Scientists first made these special permanent magnets with alloys composed of rare earth elements. They are significantly stronger than regular, ferrite magnets. Industry has put them to use for various tasks, such as in rare […]

Rare Earth Magnets
You may have heard the term ‘rare earth magnets’ somewhere and ask what that term means. Well, rare-earth magnets are made from alloys of different elements found on earth and are the strongest type of permanent magnets. They actually have more advantage than the two types of magnet which are the ferrite or alnico. The […]
Rare Earth Magnets: Properties And Examples
The term “rare earth magnets” is a bit of a misnomer. The 17 elements that comprise this group are actually quite abundant, though they are scattered over vast lands so gathering them tend to be costly. When combined, the resulting metals exhibit incredible magnetic properties. They can generate an attractive force thrice as strong as […]
Rare Earth Magnets
Rare earth magnets are magnets created from alloys of amarium-cobalt or neodymium. These magnets have a strong magnetic field of 1.4 tesla whereas normal magnets have 0.9 tesla. Modern devices that need to have strong magnets use these rare earth magnets. Because of their strength only small magnets need to be used instead of huge […]
Facts About Rare Earth Magnets
As an alternative choice to ferrite, as well as other types of magnets, rare earth magnets were conceived in the 1970s. These types of magnets are made from alloys of elements that are relatively rare. Generally, these magents will have a strength in the magnetic field of more than 1.4 tesla.
What Are Rare Earth Magnets?
What are rare earth magnets? They are a rare form of magnet that comes from alloy elements in the earth that are rare as well. This variety of metal came out in the 1970’s when it was first formulated. They are considered to be the most powerful of all magnets that are in existence . […]
Powerful Little Magnets
One might think that something called “rare” would be difficult or hard to find. Well, this is not the case with rare earth magnets. These powerful metal forces can have five to fifteen times the level of magnetic power than traditional refrigerator magnets and are very commonly found in industrial business settings. The most common […]
Neodymium Magnets The Rare Earth Magnet
If you own a cordless tool, computer, printer, microphone, speaker, a purse with a magnetic closure, or car with a DC motor you are benefiting from the magnetic properties of a neodymium magnet. The neodymium magnet is the strongest permanent magnet ever made. Other uses for the magnet are crafts and various other applications using […]
Rare Earth Magnets
Rare earth magnets are not made from rare materials. The metals that make rare earth magnets are commonly found, such as lead or tin. They have a strong permanent magnetic field that surpasses that of ferrite and alnico magnets. Neodymium magnets and samarium-cobalt magnets are the two available types of rare earth magnets.
