Samarium Cobalt (SmCo) magnets are made by a sintering process and exist in two forms. The first is Sm1Co5 (SmCo 1:5) and this has a maximum energy product of between 14 and 24 MGOe. The
second, and more common, the form is Sm2Co17 (SmCo 2:17) and this has a maximum energy product of between 22 and 32 MGOe.
Key Benefits of Samarium Cobalt Magnet Material
•
High magnetic strength: up to about 32MGOe.
•
Can operate at temperatures up to about 350°C.
•
Does not require protection against oxidation.
•
High coercivity (Hcj) to resist demagnetization
