What is samarium cobalt magnet?

Samarium cobalt magnet is a kind of rare earth magnet. These are described in more detail below:

 

I. Composition and Preparation

Composition: Samarium cobalt magnet is mainly composed of samarium (Sm), cobalt (Co) and other metal rare earth materials after a certain ratio.

Preparation: These raw materials are dissolved and refined to form alloy, then crushed, pressed and sintered, and finally made into magnetic tool materials.

 

II. Main Characteristics

High magnetic energy product: Samarium Cobalt magnet has high magnetic energy product, which makes it has excellent performance in magnetic materials.

Temperature stability: its temperature coefficient is very low, the highest working temperature can reach 350, and the performance is also stable under negative temperature. Its maximum magnetic energy product (BHmax), coercivity, temperature stability and chemical stability exceed those of NdFeB permanent magnetic materials at operating temperature above 180.

Anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation: Samarium Cobalt magnets have very strong anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation performance, which makes it can maintain stable magnetic properties in harsh environments.

 

III. Application field

Because of the above excellent performance, samarium cobalt magnets are widely used in the following fields:

Aerospace: In aerospace field, samarium cobalt magnets are used to make various magnetic sensors and actuators and other key parts because of its high temperature stability and strong magnetism.

Defence industry: In the field of defence industry, Samarium Cobalt magnets are also used in the manufacture of high performance magnetic materials and devices due to its excellent performance.

Microwave & Communication: Samarium Cobalt magnets are also used in microwave devices and communication equipment to meet the demand for high performance magnetic materials.

Medical Devices: In medical devices, Samarium Cobalt magnets are used to manufacture various magnetic sensors and processors and other key components to improve the precision and reliability of the devices.

Other fields: In addition, samarium cobalt magnets are widely used in instruments, meters, various magnetic drives, sensors, magnetic processors, motors, magnetic cranes and other fields.

 

IV. Caveats

Fragility: Samarium cobalt magnets are easy to flake, so you must wear goggles when handling them to prevent splash injury.

Avoid impact: letting the magnets crash together may cause the magnets to shatter, which is potentially dangerous.

Expensive: Samarium Cobalt magnets are expensive and susceptible to price fluctuations, especially changes in the cobalt market price can have a significant impact on their price.

 

To sum up, samarium cobalt magnet is a kind of rare earth magnet with excellent performance, which is widely used in many fields. However, due to its high price and fragility, special attention to safety and protection is required when using it.
