Samarium Cobalt Magnets

Known as rare earth magnets, Samarium Cobalt (SmCo) are alloys of the Lanthanide group of elements. SmCo magnets have been commercially available since the early 1970s, first as a 1:5 type alloy, and later with the introduction of the 2:17 type.

Both alloys offer outstanding thermal stability and excellent corrosion resistance. The 2:17 alloyoffers the advantage of superior thermal stability, and energy products up to 33 MGOe. They are price-sensitive and chip easily.

SmCo Magnetic Performance

With the exception of Alnico magnets, SmCo magnets offer the highest operating temperature of any magnetic material.

SmCo Magnetic Performance

With the exception of Alnico magnets, SmCo magnets offer the highest operating temperature of any magnetic material. Depending upon the grade, and the permeance coefficient, SmCo magnets can operate at up to 350°C. Also, there are specialty grades with 0% Tc/Deg C over selected temperature ranges.

SmCo magnets display extremely high intrinsic coercivity [depending upon the grade]. This not only makes the magnet difficult to demagnetize, but also requires high magnetizing fields in order to saturate the magnet.
