AMT | 1:5 Samarium Cobalt Magnet

Date:2025-05-28   Views:1037

The 1:5 samarium cobalt, also known as samarium cobalt 5 or SmCo5, is a magnetic material made from samarium, cobalt, or partly praseodymium-substituted samarium, blended in certain proportions and processed through melting, crushing, pressing, and sintering. Its maximum energy product ranges from 16 to 25, with a maximum operating temperature of 250°C. While its maximum energy product is lower than that of 2:17 samarium cobalt magnets, it has better mechanical properties and ductility. It’s less brittle than 2:17 magnets, making it suitable for machining into complex shapes like thin discs, squares, rings, and various irregular forms hard to achieve with 2:17 magnets. 

Additionally, it requires a lower magnetizing field—about 40,000 gauss for saturation, compared to 60,000 gauss or more for high-coercivity 2:17 magnets. Due to its nearly 40% rare earth content, it’s more expensive than 2:17 magnets. Users should select between 1:5 and 2:17 types based on specific application requirements

Theoretical   Calculation of Br and Hcj at High Temperatures

The   temperature coefficients of remanence (Br) and intrinsic coercivity (Hcj) are   measured between 20°C and 150°C for reference only.Theoretical calculation formulas (T1 = room   temperature (usually 20°C), T2 = high temperature):

Br@T2=Br@T1-[(T2-T1)*α(Br)*Br@T1]

Hcj@T2=Hcj@T1-[(T2-T1)*β(Hcj)*Hcj@T1]

For   example, for YX-20s with Br = 0.9 T and Hcj = 1830 KA/m, the theoretical   values at 150°C are calculated as follows:

Br@150℃=0.9-[(150-20)*0.045%*0.9]=0.8473T

Hcj@150℃=1830-[(150-20)*0.28%*1830]=1163.88KA/m

Notes:

1) Magnetic property testing may have slight errors, but the error   rate is less than 1%. Due to incomplete testing of raw materials, there may   be individual deviations in the performance indicators of all grades. For example, for YX-22s grade, Br = 9.2-9.6 KGs (with less than 5% of the   performance range possibly between 9.15-9.64 KGs).

2)  The maximum operating temperature is greatly related to the specific working environment,load coil, and other factors.

3)  With the advancement of technology, performance indicators may change. Please refer to the latest NGYC performance table.
