Magnetic materials are key components in our everyday life. They are used in a variety of applications in robotics and information technology, as well as in the ongoing “green” energy and mobility transition. Here, materials with the highest demand on performance are needed, making rare earth magnets like Nd-Fe-B the benchmark material of choice. However, sustainability and stability of supply...
Rare earth magnets (neodymium-iron-boron magnets), the strongest type of permanent magnets available, are widely used in the manufacture of modern technology products. They are used in electronics, wind turbines, electric motors and other fields. Unfortunately, most neodymium magnets available on the EU market come from third countries and are currently considered the most critical group of...
Rare Earth permanent magnets (REPM) are powerful magnets and widely used on the market. The amount of REPM in applications range from grams (electronic applications) to several tons (wind power generators). The major supply of REE for the EU is coming from China and other third party countries. The reuse and recycling of end-of-life (EOL) magnets is important to meet the future demands of the...
