Samarium-Co Magnet

Samarium-Cobalt Magnet are manufactured by using powder metallurgy techniques which include stringent process controls and complicated heat treatment cycles. The composition of this alloy is approximately 35% Samarium, 60% cobalt with the balance being Fe& Cu.

With high magnetic characteristics similar to Neodymium magnets. Suitable for applications in harsh environments, such as rust or high temperature. It is composed of cobalt and samarium, which are rare-earth elements. A Samarium-cobalt magnet has highest magnetic characteristics next to Neodymium magnets.

It has advantages as it has greater anti-rust and heat resistant properties. On the other hand, a Samarium-cobalt magnet is easily broken because it is brittle, so it must to be handled carefully. It is suitable for sensors and medical devices, etc.
