SmCo Magnets

Samarium-cobalt magnets
Samarium-cobalt magnets are mainly divided into two series: 1:5 type (SmCo5) and 2:17 type (Sm2Co17). Sintered samarium-cobalt magnets are brittle and fragile, and cannot be machined using traditional methods; instead, grinding wheels with a high content of diamond must be used, along with water or oil for cooling. Performance: The Curie temperature of samarium-cobalt can reach 710-880°C, and the highest operating temperature can reach 250-350°C, which is higher than the 230°C maximum operating temperature of neodymium-iron-boron; samarium-cobalt has better corrosion resistance compared to neodymium-iron-boron; when the operating temperature is above 150°C, samarium-cobalt has lower magnetic flux loss compared to neodymium-iron-boron; the 1:5 type samarium-cobalt (SmCo5).

Surface Treatment

The corrosion resistance of SmCo is considered good while that of NdFeB is considered poor. Coatings for corrosion resistance are therefore not generally required for SmCo magnets. We also can offer coatings such as Ni, Zn, or Epoxy if they are used in corrosive environment.

Temperature Characteristics

SmCo magnets can operate at temperatures up to 350°C, depending upon the grade and permeance coefficient. Sm2Co17 materials exhibit superior temperature characteristics as compared to the Sm1Co5 types. SmCo magnets have extremely resistant to demagnetization, and good temperature stability (maximum use temperatures between 250 °C and 550 °C).
