Sintered Smco Disc Magnet
SmCo magnets, are composed of Samarium, Cobalt, and a few transition metals
SmCo magnets are high performance, low temperature coefficient rare
earth permanent magnets, and could keep their performance under the
maximum working temperature 350 degree centigrade.
Manufacturing Process
Samarium, Cobalt, and a few transition metals will be made into the
SmCo powder, then fine SmCo powder will be compacted in a die and
sintered, fusing the powder into a solid material. There are 2 forms of
pressing: die pressing and isostatic pressing. Sintered parts normally
need some finish machining in order to meet final tolerances.
Machining & Tolerance
Generally, SmCo magnets must be machined using diamond-grinding
techniques. Sometimes, machining operations may be performed on SmCo
materials using Carbide Tools, but surface finishes thus obtained may be less than optimal.
The Standard tolerances for SmCo magnets are +/- 0.1mm for ground
dimensions, but s…
