Description

Ceramic magnet material is a nonmetallic compound of iron oxide, strontium ferrite and small quantities of other metal oxides. The compound is calcined wet ball milled to a fine particle size, binders are added, then the mix is compacted in a press. The compacted shapes are fired at high temperatures in kilns to a closely controlled temperature cycle. Upon cooling, the parts are diamond sawed and diamond wheel ground to specifications.

Low cost, light weight and fairly high energy, Ceramic is a hard, brittle, nonconductive material. It is difficult to grind and cannot be E.M.D.’d, machined or drilled by normal methods. Ceramic is dense black or blue-black in color. It has a thin cross section, is mostly available in slabs or rings and is usually oriented magnetically through its thickness. Ceramic magnet material performs best when temperatures do not exceed **0OF.

Raw magnet material is available in many different types,shapes,size,and strengths.When slecting magnetic material to perform a given task,certain specifications need to be considered:dimensions,direction of the materials,magnetic orientation,tolerances, finish,strength,and the type of raw magnetic meterial desired,such as Rare Earth magnets,Ceramic magnets or even Flexible magnetic rubber.
