Neodymium magnets are well-known for their ability to be machined into special shapes. Samarium-cobalt magnets, which are also strong, can also be considered in terms of their ability to be formed into special shapes. This time, Qianci Magnet will share relevant information with you!
Can Samarium-Cobalt Magnets Be Made into Special Shapes?
The answer is yes. Samarium-cobalt protosomes, the raw material of samarium-cobalt magnets, have very mature mechanical processing techniques and good properties, allowing them to be processed into special shapes. However, compared to neodymium magnets, the cost of processing samarium-cobalt magnets into special shapes is relatively high. For example, magnet manufacturers have made samples of samarium-cobalt magnets in special shapes that are relatively thin and difficult to process.
The question of whether samarium-cobalt magnets can be made into special shapes is answered here. Some friends want to know whether samarium-cobalt magnets will rust, and this question is also answered this time!
Samarium - cobalt magnets can rust. Why? Magnet manufacturers explain that this is because samarium-cobalt magnets contain iron. However, its iron content is relatively low, so the rusting process is slower compared to some other iron-containing magnetic materials. Although in the short-term, minor rusting may not severely impact its performance, over time, continued rusting can lead to degradation of both mechanical and magnetic properties. Therefore, proper storage and protection are necessary. Magnet manufacturers remind that after receiving samarium-cobalt magnets if they are not to be used immediately, they should be properly stored.
