By: vincent | 2010-11-12 | Electronics For nearly a month, China has blocked the export to Japan of rare–earth metals, obscure minerals with names that sound like science–fiction fantasies but whose applications make them essential to modern life. read more
By: Marie Winston | 2011-01-13 | Business Neodymium rare Earth magnets are composed of a boron, iron, and neodymium alloy to form the strongest currently known type of permanent magnet. They are also the most affordable type due to a continuous decrease in price over the years since their first construction and are often used in the production of many modern technologies. read more
By: John Cheesman | 2010-03-28 | Advertising Rare Earth Magnets are strong permanent magnets. Rare earth magnets are made from alloys of rare earth elements. Rare earth magnets are much stronger than alnico or ferrite magnets, and the magnetic field produced by rare earth magnets can exceed 1200 milliteslas. read more
By: Heather Pulse | 2012-02-22 | Article Marketing Humans have derived a lot of good from these strong magnets. They enable people to create a variety of electronic devices and amusing entertainments. However, there are also dangers associated with their strength. read more
By: Marie Winston | 2010-11-23 | Business Rare earth magnets are a special type of magnet, first manufactured in the 1970s. They are made from rare earth metals, which are a group of seventeen elements found in the periodic table. These include scandium and yttrium, and despite the name, they are actually found in relative abundance in the earth's crust. Rare earth magnets have the distinction of being the most powerful type of permanent magnet. read more

By: Marie Winston | 2011-02-03 | Business Neodymium rare earth magnets are permanent magnets made from an alloy of iron, boron and neodymium. This compound is also designated as NdFeB. It was created in 1982 in order to provide an alternative to samarium cobalt magnets. Magnets made from this alloy are the strongest type of rare earth magnet. read more
By: David P Grossman | 2010-10-03 | Arts & Entertainment While all the focus seems to be on gold at the moment, there is a new a relatively unknown area of investment called Rare Earth Metals that has room for spectacular growth. In this article we explain what they are and how to get involved with this potentially huge market. read more
By: April Gilbertson | 2012-01-17 | Manufacturing Even with the arrival of inexpensive neodymium on the market, there is still a place for samarium-cobalt plate magnets. Their high Curie temperature makes them necessary in the hottest applications. The older types of magnets now find their primary uses in certain products. read more
By: Marie Winston | 2010-10-15 | Business The most powerful magnets ever known are Neodymium rare earth magnets. Just like a magnet on the refrigerator in your household, these are made of materials which create a magnetic field by themselves and become magnetic and hence they are known to be "permanent" magnets. The word "rare" is used in the name as they require a combination of 15 different rare elements of the scandium, yttrium and lanthanides series. read more
By: Hector Klein | 2011-11-18 | Article Marketing Rare earth magnets produce their own laundry list of hazards because of their special properties and strength. The power of a magnet more than a half inch long is strong enough to cause damage to human tissue caught between two of them. The material they are made of are of such a brittle material that they often break and chip when allowed to strike each other. They can also cause damage to sensit read more
By: Marie Winston | 2011-02-04 | Business Magnets rare earth are permanent magnets composed from alloys of rare earth elements. Rare earth elements are seventeen chemical elements in the periodic table, primarily the lanthanide series and two, which are remotely similar. Rare earth magnets are considered to be the strongest permanent magnets available, due to their extraordinarily high tesla level, which averages at about 1.4. read more
By: Jacob Williams | 2011-11-02 | Manufacturing A Rare Earth magnet is made from these types of compounds. The advantage of these compounds over other types of magnets is that their crystalline structures are easy to magnetize in one direction, yet it is able to resist being magnetized in another direction. To summarize this, high magnetic moments at an atomic level in conjunction with high anisotropic levels allow for high amounts of strength. read more
By: judy mercy | 2011-11-25 | Business They may be called rare but in reality, considering their distribution over the earth's crust, rare earth metals are in relative abundance. Along with copper, rare earth metals are the 25th most abundant element found in the earth's crust. So why are they called rare? Unlike copper, these metals are widely dispersed; it's practically difficult to find enough of them concentrated in one location wh read more
