What is a Ferrite Magnet — principle, properties and use cases

What is it and how is it made?

A Ferrite Magnet (also termed “ceramic magnet” or “hard ferrite”) is a magnet made from a ceramic compound of iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) combined with metallic oxide (commonly barium or strontium).

Heavy Duty Ceramic Ferrite Ring Magnet Ferrite Magnets

The process broadly involves:

  • Mixing iron oxide + barium/strontium carbonate powder

  • Pressing/molding into shape

  • Sintering at high temperature in a controlled atmosphere

  • Magnetizing in an external magnetic field

Because ferrite is electrically insulating, it has low eddy-current losses.

Key physical and magnetic properties

Here is a comparison of ferrite magnet typical properties:

Parameter Typical Value Notes / implications
Remanence (B_r) ~0.2 – 0.5 Tesla Lower magnetic flux compared to rare-earth magnets
Coercivity (H_c) ~100 to few hundred kA/m Good resistance to demagnetization in many conditions
Maximum energy product (BH_max) ~1 – 5 MGOe (≈ 8 – 40 kJ/m³) Relatively low compared to rare-earth types
Density ~4.8 – 5.2 g/cm³ Lightweight compared to NdFeB (≈ 7.5 g/cm³)
Temperature range –40 °C up to ~250 °C Better thermal stability, less sensitivity to temperature than NdFeB
Corrosion resistance High (intrinsically) No or minimal coating needed, good for humid or outdoor environments

Use cases & advantages / disadvantages

Advantages:

  • Cost-effective: raw materials are abundant and inexpensive

  • Excellent corrosion resistance and environmental stability

  • Good temperature tolerance

  • Electrical insulation — minimal eddy current losses

Limitations:

  • Lower magnetic strength (flux density)

  • Bulkier or heavier for equivalent magnetic performance

  • Less suitable for miniaturized high-power applications

Typical applications include:

  • Loudspeakers, microphones

  • Motors (low- to mid-grade)

  • Magnetic separation (where high cost-per-unit isn’t acceptable)

  • Sensors, magnetic assemblies in appliances

In summary, Ferrite magnets are reliable, affordable, and robust — ideal when extreme magnetic strength is not the priority, or when environmental resilience is key.

What is a Sintered NdFeB Magnet — technology, performance and comparative table

What is Sintered NdFeB, and how is it produced?

A sintered NdFeB  magnet is a high-performance rare-earth permanent magnet made via powder metallurgy.

Custome Neodyminum Sintered NdFeB Magnet

The generalized manufacturing steps:

  1. Alloy melt and cast

  2. Pulverization / hydrogen-decrepitation / fine grinding to micro powder

  3. Alignment and pressing under magnetic field

  4. Sintering (densification) in vacuum or inert gas

  5. Heat treatment / annealing to optimize microstructure

  6. Machining (cutting, grinding, shaping of poles)

  7. Surface treatment/coating (Ni, Ni–Cu–Ni, epoxy, etc.)

Because sintered NdFeB is brittle, the bulk forms are often processed into final geometries post-sintering.

Performance and limits

Sintered NdFeB magnets are among the strongest permanent magnets available. Some typical performance metrics:

  • Maximum energy product (BH_max): 33 to 51 MGOe (≈ 265 to 408 kJ/m³)

  • Remanence (B_r): ~1.0 – 1.5 T

  • Coercivity (H_cj): up to ~2000 kA/m (varies by grade)

  • Density: ~7.3 – 7.7 g/cm³

  • Operating temperature: Typical grades up to ~80–200 °C; special grades can sustain higher but with performance penalty

Because high iron content is susceptible to oxidation, surface coatings or protective layers are essential (e.g. nickel, NiCuNi, epoxy) to prevent corrosion and degradation.

Comparison: Sintered NdFeB vs Ferrite vs Bonded NdFeB

To highlight where sintered NdFeB fits, here is a comparative table of three magnet types:

Parameter / Type Ferrite Magnet Bonded NdFeB Magnet Sintered NdFeB Magnet
Composition Iron oxide + Ba/Sr oxides NdFeB powder + binder Fully dense NdFeB alloy
(BH)_max ~1 – 5 MGOe < 10 MGOe (typical) 33 – 51 MGOe
Density ~5 g/cm³ ~6 g/cm³ (with binder) ~7.3 – 7.7 g/cm³
Mechanical properties Relatively brittle but stable Better mechanical flexibility (less brittle) Very brittle — high machining loss
Corrosion resistance Good (inherent) Good (resin binder helps) Needs protective coating
Temperature stability –40 to ~250 °C Moderate Varies by grade; often ~80–200 °C
Cost Lowest Mid Highest (energy, process, machining)
Shape flexibility Needs sintering molds Good for complex shapes (injection, molding) Mostly block → machined shapes

From the comparisons, sintered NdFeB is chosen when high magnetic flux in compact space is essential — e.g. in motors, actuators, sensors, medical devices. Ferrite is best when cost, stability, and environmental resilience matter most. Bonded NdFeB (though not our focus here) is the middle ground: better shape flexibility, lower cost, but weaker magnetic output.
