New magnetic material—cerium iron boron

Cerium iron boron, have you heard of this name? This is a new type of magnetic material. Its main purpose is to reduce the cost of magnets. For example, Zhongke Sanhuan Co., Ltd. already has small batches of cerium iron boron related products. What are its characteristics, advantages and application scope, the following is for you introduce.

Features of the new cerium magnet;

Significantly reduce production costs. The current price of praseodymium and neodymium metal is about 1 million yuan / ton, and the highest in the first quarter is 1.4 million yuan, while the price of cerium metal is only 27,000 yuan / ton.

The content of cerium in the earth's crust is about 0.0046%, which is the highest abundance among rare earth elements.

The new cerium magnet can fill the gap between high-performance magnet and ferrite in permanent magnet materials. Its performance is lower than that of NdFeB, but its cost advantage is prominent. Its price is higher than that of ferrite, but its performance advantage is obvious. It can replace part of NdFeB and ferrite markets at the same time.

What are the application fields of cerium iron boron?

According to the reply of Zhongke Sanhuan: The company has made important progress in the industrialization of high-abundance rare earth magnets in recent years, and has developed a series of high-abundance rare-earth magnets, which have made breakthroughs in applications of high-abundance rare earth magnets. The limitations of applications in adsorption, magnetic separation, electric bicycles, luggage buckles, door buckles, toys and other fields have been extended to more severe application fields such as acoustic devices and industrial motors.

At present, it is extremely unlikely that cerium iron boron will completely replace NdFeB, especially high-performance NdFeB magnet, but its prospects are still very large.
