Limiting Heavy Rare Earths Reliance for Neodymium Magnets
The growth in demand for neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) permanent magnets to maintain magnetic performance at high temperatures led to the inclusion of heavy rare earths such as dysprosium and terbium. The addition of these elements increases the coercivity of NdFeB i.e. it allows the magnets to operate at higher temperatures without losing their magnetic properties. The…
Read MoreA Review of REPM 2023
Matthew Swallow, our Technical Product Manager and the Chair of the UK Magnetics Society, reports on REPM 2023, the 27th international workshop on rare earth and future permanent magnets and their applications (3-7 September, University of Birmingham, UK). REPM is a biennial academic conference held and run by a hosting university or institution with the…
Read MoreBunting Introduces Carbon Neutral Neodymium Magnets
In response to feedback from European customers, Bunting-Berkhamsted is the first magnet supplier to offer carbon-neutral sintered Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) rare earth magnets sold online through the company’s Bunting-eMagnets ecommerce website. The manufacture of magnets such as NdFeB requires a considerable amount of effort and energy, from mining of the raw materials through to…
Read MoreNeodymium Price Trends
Updated 25th January 2024 On January 1st 2025, after rallying between August and November, the price of Neodymium fell to the lowest level since November 2020. The outlook remains uncertain, with further decreases likely in the short term. In 12 months, the price of Neodymium has fallen by 42%, way down on the peak price…
Read MoreMetal Recovery from Electric Vehicles
Mining the Urban Environment The anticipated global increase in production and consumption of electronic goods and electric vehicles puts a huge strain on raw material reserves. Subsequently, the focus has turned from mining raw materials to reclaiming, reusing and recycling secondary materials. This is known as ‘Mining the Urban Environment’. The strategic nature of critical…
Read MoreSUSMAGPRO Rare Earth Magnets Recycling Task Force
The launch of the European Union (EU)-funded SUSMAGPRO project took place in Germany in June 2019. The four-year project focuses on the sustainable recovery, re-processing, and reuse of rare-earth magnets. With global expertise on magnets and magnetic assemblies, Bunting is one of several project partners. “Rare-earth magnets are a key component in many frequently used…
Read MoreSupplying Magnets To NASA
Bunting is thrilled to have been selected as the supplier of high specification grain boundary diffused Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) Magnets for a NASA project. Grain Boundary Diffused Magnets Grain Boundary Diffusion (GBD) technology enables the heavy rare earth element Dysprosium to diffuse from the surface of a grain around all of the grains boundaries. Dysprosium…

High Strength Magnets – Low Carbon Vehicle Event The most advanced high strength magnet technology will be on show on the Bunting Magnetics stand C1-14 at the Cenex-LCV 2018 event (Millbrook, Bedfordshire, UK, 12th and 13th September 2018). Cenex-LCV is the UK’s premier low carbon vehicle event. There is an exhibition area as well as an…
Read MoreGrain Boundary Diffusion Technology
Neodymium (NdeFeB) Rare Earth Magnets are used throughout industry and, as demand increases from the Energy, Automotive, Aerospace and Down Hole markets, the drive is towards producing magnets that have the highest magnetic energy under the harshest of conditions such as: These are typical applications where the Samarium Cobalt (SmCo) Rare Earth Magnet has been…
Read MoreOffices Would No Longer Function Without Magnets
Stating that an office would not be able to function without the presence of magnets is pretty bold. Immediately you are thinking that there are other ways to pin notices to white boards or neatly store paperclips. Important, maybe, but these are not critical to our daily life in work. So, if magnets were removed…
