Ferrite Magnets: Principles, Uses & Comparison

Table of Contents As an engineer with years of experience in magnetic materials, I often get asked a question. People want to know, “Why are ferrite magnets so common, yet so few people understand them?” Ferrite magnets are found everywhere in our lives. They are in refrigerator magnets, car motors, smartphone speakers, and substation transformers. […]

What Are Ferrite Magnets and How Do They Work

Ferrite magnets, often called ceramic magnets, are permanent magnets made from a mix of iron oxide and either barium or strontium. These magnets stand out because they are ferrimagnetic, ceramic in nature, non-conductive, and highly resistant to demagnetization. Ferrite magnets account for over 70% of the global permanent magnet market by volume, driven by their […]

Ferrite Magnetics: A Comprehensive Guide to Permanent & Soft Magnetic Materials

What Are Ferrite Magnetics? Ferrite magnetics are permanent magnetic materials made up of strontium oxide (SrO) or barium oxide (BaO) and iron oxide (Fe₂O₃). They are known for their high electrical resistivity and dielectric properties and are used in high-frequency, low-current applications, critical for electronics and telecommunications. Fe₃O₄ (magnetite), the simplest natural ferrite, has been […]
