Science is pretty amazing. Take, for example, a recent development whereas researchers at the Tohoku University in Japan did something amazing: they built an artificial, rare-earth magnet in just ten days. Their magnetic object is a rare-earth free FeNi magnet with high levels of iron and nickel– magnet material that is otherwise typically found in… Read more »
If you’re a regular reader of our blog, you know that we talk a lot about our own products, the magnet industry in general, and the state of manufacturing in the United States.

IPES International’s magnetic pulleys are used in conveyor systems to remove ferrous metal from the product flow. They’re offered in two types: Rare Earth Neodymium or Ceramic-8. Ceramic magnets came into existence in the 1950s, and in the 1980s neodymium magnets were invented. So what’s the difference? Ceramic magnets are made out of powdered barium… Read more »
