Support customization options—smco magnets
1.Shape and size
Standard shapes: round, square, ring, strip, horseshoe-shaped etc.
Irregular shapes: Processed into non-regular shapes such as fan-shaped, trapezoidal, concave, perforated/slotted, stepped shapes according to drawings.

2.Dimensional accuracy
Customizable parameters such as diameter/side length, thickness, aperture, and curvature are available, with an accuracy of ±0.01mm (requiring precise processing techniques).

3. Material grade
- SmCo5 (Samarium Cobalt type 5) : Magnetic energy product (BHmax) 16-24 MGOe, temperature resistance up to 250℃, suitable for medium-intensity magnetic field requirements.
- Sm2Co17 (Samarium Cobalt 17 type) : Magnetic energy product 24-32 MGOe, temperature resistance up to 350℃, stronger anti-demagnetization ability, suitable for high-temperature and strong magnetic field environments.
4. Coating process
Coating process
Corrosion-resistant coating: nickel (Ni) plating, gold (Au) plating, platinum (Pt) plating, with a thickness ranging from 5μm to 25μm.
Magnetic body for Marine environment (platinum-plated + epoxy resin encapsulated, no corrosion after 1000 hours of salt spray test).
Insulation treatment: Coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or ceramic coating, with insulation resistance > 100MΩ.
Scene: Magnets for high-voltage electrical equipment (to prevent arc breakdown).
Mechanical protection
Metal packaging: Stainless steel shell welded and sealed, suitable for vibration (50g acceleration) and shock (500g peak) scenarios.
Magnetic components of missile guidance system (stainless steel + damping glue encapsulation)
5. Magnetization direction and magnetic field distribution
- Axial magnetization: The magnetic field lines are perpendicular to the plane (for example, the upper and lower surfaces of a circular magnet are the magnetic poles).
- Radial magnetization: The magnetic field lines are along the radius direction (for example, the inner and outer diameters of a ring-shaped magnet are the magnetic poles).
- Multi-pole magnetization: Multiple N/S poles are distributed on the surface of the magnet (such as sine wave magnetization of sector magnets used in motors).
- Magnetization in any direction: According to design requirements, customize the magnetization Angle in non-standard directions.

6. Customized magnetic properties and tolerances
Magnetic energy product (BHmax) : The range of magnetic force intensity can be specified (such as ≥35MGOe).
Tolerance control
Dimensional tolerance: such as diameter ±0.05mm, thickness ±0.02mm.
Magnetic performance tolerance: such as the control of the fluctuation range of residual magnetism (Br) and coercive force (Hcb).
