Product Selection FAQ

Product cognition, parameter differentiation, scenario matching and grade selection

What are rare earth magnets? What are their core features and advantages?

Rare earth magnets are high-performance magnetic materials made from rare earth elements. They feature high magnetic energy product, strong magnetism, compact size and excellent magnetic stability, ranking as the most comprehensive and reliable industrial magnetic materials currently available.

What are the main types of rare earth magnets and their differences?

The two mainstream commercial categories are NdFeB magnets and SmCo magnets. NdFeB delivers stronger magnetic performance and higher cost performance for most general industrial scenarios. SmCo features superior high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and demagnetization resistance for extreme and harsh working conditions.

What are the classifications and application scenarios of NdFeB magnets?

NdFeB magnets are classified by manufacturing processes (sintered, bonded, hot-pressed) and performance grades (standard, high-temperature resistant, grain diffusion enhanced). They are widely applied in new energy vehicles, wind power equipment, smart home appliances, precision electronics, industrial automation and intelligent sensors.

What are the classifications and application scenarios of SmCo magnets?

SmCo magnets are mainly divided into 1:5 type and 2:17 type. With outstanding high-temperature resistance and low demagnetization characteristics, they are widely used in aerospace, military equipment, high-temperature precision instruments, petroleum exploration and special sensors for high-end harsh environments.

How to select the right magnet type according to demand?

Choose NdFeB for normal-temperature industrial scenarios and cost-sensitive projects. Choose SmCo for scenarios requiring high reliability and stability under high temperature, high humidity, corrosion or strong magnetic interference.

How to choose magnet grades and their applicable scenarios?

N/M series for ordinary room-temperature environments; H/SH/UH/EH series for continuous high-temperature working conditions; ultra-high-performance grades for miniaturized, high-precision and high-magnetic equipment to match specific temperature, magnetic and stability requirements.

How to choose between NdFeB and SmCo magnets?

Key selection dimensions include working temperature, environmental conditions, stability requirements and budget. NdFeB is preferred for general industrial scenarios with high cost performance; SmCo is selected for strict scenarios such as high temperature, precision equipment, military and aerospace applications.
