ALNICO
This alloy is mainly used for its resistance to temperatures of up to 450°C.

Cylindrical bars

Material: aluminium alloy, nickel, cobalt and iron;

cast and treated at high temperature. High resistance
to corrosion. Due to its demagnetisation-resistant
properties, this material comes in the form of long
bars (length 5 to 7 times the diameter) or magnetized
in the circuit.
Alnico 600.

Mounting: adhesively bonded, flush-fitted or over-

moulded. Machined by grinding.

Applications: sensors, measuring apparatus, detection,

applications beyond 150°C, etc.

NEODYMIUM IRON BORON

Neodymium is one of the most powerful materials on the market. It is used when a very powerful
yet small magnet is required.
Temperature for use: standard up to 80°C, special up to 180°C.
The attractive force remains high even when there is a great distance between the magnet and the
item being attracted.

Material: neodymium alloy, of iron and boron.

Zinc coating to protect against corrosion.
Néodyme 220/135.

Mounting: to be adhesively bonded, flush-fitted or over-

moulded.

Applications: mounting, detection, magnetic drive and

electrical engineering.

LATTAM
LATTAM magnets consist of ferrite or neodymium magnets bonded onto a metal plate. The mag-
netic side has several poles (North and South) while the opposite side has no magnetic attraction.
Used for any type of attachment, positions, devices, catches, etc.
The anti-slip versions provide excellent resistance to slippage.

 Magnetic catches are well-known to professionals.
This solution has many advantages. Permanent
magnets have an unlimited service life
Unlike a spring, a magnet does not wear out and
does not weaken. The door is retained simply by
contact. Mechanical adjustment is therefore minimal
or even unnecessary. Installation can be very simple,
by clicking in, fitting a single screw or tapping with
a mallet in the simplest cases. There is a large range
of magnetic forces adapted to all cases.

Magnetism has been known about for thousands of
years and has been considered to be a science in its
own right since the beginning of the century. Modern
industrial materials only came to be in the 1930s,
with iron, nickel and aluminium alloys. The 1960s
saw the industrial development of ferrite magnets,
which are now widely used. The use of rare earth
element alloys developed in the 1970s (samarium
cobalt) and in the 1980s (Neodymium iron boron).

"Earth's magnetic field".

 MAGNETIC MATERIALS
Ferrite magnets
Part of the ceramics family, ferrite is available in large quantities and is thus relatively cheap.
In most cases, it is oriented, pressed and sintered at high temperature. Magnetization is thus
always achieved according to a preferred direction (anisotropic direction).
It is insensitive to oxidation and atmospheric influences and is the material most often used in all
fields: mounting, engines and detection. May be used in temperatures up to 250°C.

Neodymium magnets
Part of the Rare Earth metals family, these are currently the magnets with the best magnetic prop-
erties. They are obtained by compressing an alloy powder in a magnetic field and then hot sinter-
ing in a controlled atmosphere, and cutting to final size. They are sensitive to corrosion and tem-
perature and can be treated according to the conditions of use: metal coating, epoxy, etc. Certain
nuances can, however, be used up to 180°C.

Alnico magnets
Obtained from metal alloys: aluminium, nickel, cobalt, iron, copper and titanium. This material is
cast at high temperature. It is magnetised in a preferred direction: that of its greatest length. These
magnets are mainly used in measuring instruments due to their stability with respect to tempera-
ture (– 270 to 450°C).

Samarium/cobalt magnets
An alloy from the Rare Earth metals. There are two main variants: Sm Co5 and Sm2 Co17. The mag-
nets are obtained by compressing an alloy powder in a magnetic field and then hot sintering. They
are more resistant to corrosion and temperature than neodymium iron boron magnets and provide
very powerful magnetic force at a small size. Can be used up to 300°C.

Flexible composites
These are formed from a synthetic elastomer charged with ferrite powder. The choice of powders
as basic polymers provides a range of properties: magnetic, mechanical etc.
Magnetic elastomers come in sheets or rolls magnetised on one or both sides and have a practi-
cally unlimited operating life under normal operating conditions (70°C to 120°C depending on the
nuances).

Laminated composites
Including a sheet of flexible composites bonded to metal sheet. The metal sheet provides a good
distribution of the mechanical strains and reinforces magnetic performance.

Ferrite and neodymium injected composite magnets

Material made up of a thermoplastic matrix and a ferrite or neodymium iron boron magnetic pow-
der. Injection over-moulding is used to obtain complex shapes and good physical properties.

Compressed composite magnets

Material made up of a thermosetting matrix. This process is used to obtain simple shapes (cylin-
ders, blocks, tubes etc.).

 TYPES OF MAGNETISATION

To respond to varying needs, the poles may be configured in many different ways. It is necessary to
use a common denomination so they can be designated. When the magnet is anisotropic (i.e. ori-
ented during manufacture), it must be taken into account when choosing the flow line drawing. With
the exception of Alnico magnets, the materials are generally oriented according to their thickness.

The diagram above shows a hysteresis cycle with the main magnitudes that characterize a
permanent magnet:

Br: is the remanent magnetic flux density or the residual magnetisation. This magnitude is the
residual magnetization's aptitude in the absence of outer magnetic excitation (H equals zero).

HcJ: the intrinsic coercitive field. It characterizes the ability of a magnet to preserve its initial mag-
netization.

HcB: coercitive force or coercivity. This value corresponds to the point in the hysteresis cycle when
a magnet is no longer likely to provide magnetic energy.

B.H max: represents the maximum energy density that a magnet can provide. This is the maximum
B x H produced from the points which make up curve B=f(H) in the second quadrant. This value
corresponds to a determined working point. It is an indication of the permanent magnet's perform-
ance.

All these characteristics are found in the hysteresis cycle’s second quadrant. This is the part which
is of interest to the user.

53
 TECHNICAL TERMINOLOGY

Anisotropic magnet
Most modern materials are anisotropic, meaning that they are oriented. When used, its design
ensures that one magnetization direction is preferred over others. Magnetic performance is consid-
erably improved as the residual flux density is virtually doubled.

Permanent magnet
Many material groups fall into this category and have many different properties:. these include alni-
co, sintered ferrite, samarium cobalt and neodymium iron boron. These materials are able to
release magnetization without an outer magnetic field.

Magnet magnetization
This involves placing a magnet in an H magnetic field which polarizes it in a specific direction.

Coercitive field
Reverse magnetic field used for eliminating residual magnetization. Magnetisation is not strongly
“impregnated” enough into a material and only remains when the reverse field has the same force.

Temperature coefficient
Indicates the change in % of residual magnetisation by °C of temperature variation from a given
temperature.

Air gap
Magnetic space between a magnet’s poles.

Permeability
Magnetic conduction capacity.

Curie point
Temperature above which magnetisation is irreversibly destroyed.
