NdFeB strong magnet is a common magnet material. With the global mass production of NdFeB strong magnet in recent years, the global production pattern has also changed significantly. The United States, once a strong production country, stopped production at the end of 2003, Europe also basically stopped production, and Japan's growth has greatly reduced. So what exactly caused this situation? What is the industry development status of NdFeB strong magnet? Let us introduce it to you in detail:
my country's various magnetic materials have grown rapidly in the past 10 years or so. In recent years, it has gradually become the "center of the global magnet industry", thus replacing the "center of the global magnet industry" dominated by Europe, the United States and Japan for decades.
With the basic cessation of production of NdFeB strong magnets in Europe and the significant slowdown in Japan's growth, some manufacturers in these regions have moved to Asian countries, especially China, where raw materials are quite abundant. The main reasons for this phenomenon are the continued rise in the price of raw materials, the rise of manufacturers in Asian countries, and the high labor costs in Western countries. In the production of this material, Asian countries have considerable advantages, especially China.
First, Asian countries are rich in resources, and my country's rare earth Nd content accounts for more than 80% of the world's reserves; second, Asian countries have low labor costs, and the hourly remuneration is far lower than the European standard; third, Asian countries rely on equipment and most of the equipment and process technology developed by them, and with the breaking of barriers, these countries' materials can be gradually exported to Europe and the United States, and the price is much lower than their local product prices. These advantages have expanded the competitiveness of Asian countries, and at the same time have prompted European and American manufacturers to slow down and even stop production.
However, in terms of high-operating temperature sintered NdFeB strong magnets, foreign companies can already provide high-coercivity sintered NdFeB strong magnets with a temperature resistance of more than 200°C, while most Chinese companies can only provide sintered NdFeB magnets with an operating temperature below 200°C. Like the production of high-performance sintered NdFeB permanent magnets, Chinese companies lag behind foreign companies mainly in production technology. Therefore, in the production of high-coercivity sintered NdFeB, my country should mainly start from the process.
These are the industry development status of NdFeB strong magnets. In order to solve the current situation in my country, some Chinese companies have introduced some foreign equipment and made considerable improvements in production processes, but it is still difficult to provide sintered NdFeB magnets with an operating temperature above 200°C.
