Product Overview

 

Samarium Cobalt disc magnets deliver stable magnetic performance in operating environments exceeding 250°C, where NdFeB alternatives experience severe flux loss. Composed of SmCo5 (1:5) and Sm2Co17 (2:17) alloy systems, these rare-earth permanent magnets maintain high intrinsic coercivity (Hci) against demagnetization without requiring protective electroplating in standard dry atmospheres.


Golds-Magnets sintered SmCo disc magnets to client drawings using precision wire EDM, internal grinding, and custom alignment presses. Each production batch undergoes hysteresis graph testing to verify remanence (Br), coercivity (Hcb and Hci), and maximum energy product (BHmax) against ASTM A977 standards.

FAQ

 

 

Q: Can SmCo disc magnets be used without any surface coating?

A: Yes. SmCo contains roughly 65% cobalt and does not rust easily in dry industrial environments. Nickel plating is optional for particle containment.

Q: Why is SmCo more expensive than NdFeB?

A: Cobalt is a strategic metal with high market volatility, and the production process requires complex vacuum sintering and specialized heat treatments.

Q: How do I prevent SmCo magnets from chipping during mechanical assembly?

A: SmCo is a brittle intermetallic material. Avoid direct press-fits against hardened steel. Use high-temperature structural adhesives or mechanical clamping that distributes forces evenly.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom-dimension discs?

A: MOQ depends on existing tooling availability for specific diameters. Sample runs are available for standard blocks cut via wire EDM.
