Rare earth ore to metal

Research on converting ore to lanthanum, samarium and neodymium–praseodymium metal — the midstream step that is strategic for magnet supply chains.

Metals to permanent magnets

Development of NdFeB and SmCo magnets in discs, rods, bricks and custom polarity. Energy product up to 40 MGOe with controlled alignment.

Other hard magnets

Alnico to 5 MGOe. FeCrCo and hard ferrites for high-temperature or cost-sensitive duty.

Soft ferrites

MnZn cores for 1–1000 kHz and NiZn cores for 1–1000 MHz — the classical domain of high-frequency power and RF magnetics.

Magnet characterization

DC magnetometer to 2 T, pulse magnetometer to 7 T, soft-magnet coercivity meter, Helmholtz 0.05–200 Oe. SEM/TEM 1.4 nm, ICP to ppm, DSC/TG.

Metal powders

Spherical powders, nano to micrometre, aluminium (660 °C) through tungsten (3422 °C). Atomized, sponge, crushed and spray-dried spheroidization.

Electromagnets

Development and calibration for laboratory and industrial field control, including systems to 11 tesla.

Process-equipment development

CIP 2,500 bar, vacuum sinter 1,200 °C, tube furnaces 1,250 °C, pulsed supplies 6–500 kJ.
