Neodymium iron boron magnets

[J. Bennett]

Hi y'all.
i would REALLY love to know the exact chemistry of neodymium iron boron magnets.

I'll tell you why, if I can find a definitive source.
Thanks a bunch, Jerry

You hunting another source of alloying materials?

I'd guess that most commercial ones used propriartary mixes and so would not give out the specifics. You might look into reserch publications or dissertations for what they *may* be using; but without having them analyzed you are dealing with a guess.

Yep
Specifically ferro boron..........

look to the Hard Drive Manufacturers they have driven this for the most part

Session BC36 - Microstructures and Nanostructures of Magnetic Materials.
http://www.engconfintl.org/pastconf/2akfin.html\

should be some good search terms in those to follow

Hey thanks once again Ice. Your Google-Fu is powerful !

I want some boron to harden up my new steel without carbon.

the path is tortuous and fraught with many diversions grasshopper, but it starts here

figured thats what you where looking for once I started to see the returns, thank you for giving me a query that taught me something
