Magnetic Devices

Operating Principle:

The operating principle of Magnetic Devices transfer torque from motor end to load end through the air gap. And there is no connection between the transmission side and load side of the equipment. A strong rare-earth magnetic field on one side of the transmission and an induced current from a conductor on the other side interact to create torque. By changing the air gap spacing, the torsion force can be precisely controlled and so that the speed can be controlled.

Products Advantages:

The permanent magnet drive replaces the connection between the motor and the load with an air gap. The air gap eliminates harmful vibration, minimizes wear, improves energy efficiency, extends motor life, and protects equipment from overload damage. The result:

Save energy

Enhanced reliability

Reduce the maintenance costs

Improved process control

No harmonic distortion or energy quality issues

Capable of operating in harsh environments

Electroacoustic

Operating Principle:

It is to make the current through the coil to produce a magnetic field, utilize the excitation out of the magnetic field and the original loudspeaker magnetic field action to produce vibration. It is the most commonly used loudspeaker.

It can be roughly divided into the following main parts:

Power system: including the voice coil (also the electric coil), the coil is usually fixed with the vibration system, through the diaphragm to convert the vibration of the coil into sound signals.

Vibration system: including sound film, that is, horn diaphragm, diaphragm. Diaphragm can be made of a variety of materials. It can be said that the sound quality of loudspeaker is largely determined by the materials and manufacturing process of diaphragm.

According to the different installation methods of its magnets, it can be divided into:

External magnet: wrap the magnet around the voice coil, so make the voice coil bigger than the magnet. The size of the outer voice coil is increased, so that make the diaphragm contact area larger, and the dynamic is better. The increased size voice coil is also with the higher heat dissipation efficiency.

Inner magnet: the voice coil is built inside the magnet, so the voice coil size is much smaller.

Coating Equipment

The basic principle of magnetron sputtering coating equipment is that electrons collide with argon atoms in the process of accelerating to the substrate under the action of electric field, then ionize a large number of argon ions and electrons, and the electrons fly to the substrate. Under the action of electric field, argon ion accelerates to bombard the target, sputtering a large number of target atoms, as neutral target atoms (or molecules) deposited on the substrate to form films. Secondary electron in the process of accelerating flying to the substrate affected by the Magnetic field lorenzo force, it is bounded within the plasma region close to the target, the plasma density in this area is very high, secondary electron under the action of magnetic field around the target surface as a circular motion, the electron motion path is very long, constantly argon atom collision ionization out large amounts of argon ion in the process of movement to bombardment of target. After a number of collisions, the energy of the electrons gradually decreases, and they get rid of the magnetic field lines, away from the target, and eventually deposit on the substrate. 

Coating Equipment-

Magnetron sputtering is to use magnetic field to bind and extend the motion path of electrons, change the motion direction of electrons, improve the ionization rate of working gas and effectively use the energy of electrons. The interaction between the magnetic field and the electric field (E X B drift) causes individual electron trajectory appear in a three-dimensional spiral rather than just circumferential motion at the target surface. As for the target surface circumferential sputtering profile, it is the magnetic field lines of target source magnetic field are circumferential shape. The distribution direction has great influence on film formation.

Magnetron sputtering is characterized by high film forming rate, low substrate temperature, good film adhesion, and large area coating. The technology can be divided into DC magnetron sputtering and RF magnetron sputtering.

Wind Power Generation

Permanent magnet wind generator adopts high performance sintered NdFeb permanent magnets, high enough Hcj can avoid the magnet loses its magnetism at high temperature. The life of the magnet depends on the substrate material and surface anti-corrosion treatment. The anti-corrosion of NdFeb magnet should start from manufacturing.

A large permanent magnet wind generator usually uses thousands of NdFeb magnets, each pole of the rotor makes up many of magnets. The consistency of rotor magnetic pole requires the consistency of magnets, including the consistency of dimensional tolerance and magnetic properties. Uniformity of magnetic properties includes the magnetic variation between individuals is small and the magnetic properties of individual magnets should be uniform.

To detect the magnetic uniformity of a single magnet, it is necessary to cut the magnet into several small pieces and measure its demagnetization curve. Test whether the magnetic properties of a batch is consistent in the process of production. It is necessary to extract magnet from different parts in the sintering furnace as samples and measure the demagnetization curve of them. Because measuring equipment is very expensive, it is almost impossible to ensure the integrity of each magnet which is being measured. Therefore, it is impossible to do full product inspection. The consistency of NdFeb magnetic properties must be guaranteed by production equipment and process control.

Rare earth cast magnesium alloy is mainly used for long-term 200 ~ 300℃, which has good high temperature strength and long-term creep resistance. The solubility of rare earth elements in magnesium is different, and the increasing order is lanthanum, mixed rare earth, cerium, praseodymium and neodymium. Its good influence also increases on mechanical properties at room temperature and high temperature. After heat treatment, ZM6 alloy with neodymium as the main additive element developed by AVIC not only has high mechanical properties at room temperature, but also has good transient mechanical properties and creep resistance at high temperature. It can be used at room temperature and can be used for a long time at 250℃. With the appearance of new cast magnesium alloy with yttrium corrosion resistance, the cast magnesium alloy is again popular in foreign aviation industry in recent years.

After adding an appropriate amount of rare earth metals to magnesium alloys. The addition of rare earth metal to magnesium alloy can increase the fluidity of the alloy, reduce the microporosity, improve the air tightness and remarkably improve the phenomenon of hot cracking and porosity, so that the alloy still has high strength and creep resistance at 200-300 ℃.

Rare earth elements play a significant role in improving the properties of superalloys. Superalloys are used in the hot end parts of aeroengines. However, the further improvement of aero-engine performance is limited due to the decrease of oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance and strength at high temperature.

Automobile Industry

From the perspective of the industrial chain, 80% of rare earth minerals are made into permanent magnet materials through mining and smelting and reprocessing. Permanent magnet materials are mainly used in new energy industries such as motor of new energy vehicle and wind generator. Therefore, rare earth as an important new energy metal has attracted much attention. 

It is reported that the general vehicle has more than 30 parts used rare earth permanent magnets, and the high-end car is more than 70 parts need to use rare earth permanent magnet material, to complete a variety of control actions.

"A luxury car needs about 0.5kg-3.5kg of rare earth permanent magnet material, and these amounts are even larger for new energy vehicles. Each hybrid consumes 5kg NdFeb more than a conventional car. Rare earth permanent magnet motor replaces the traditional motor to use more than 5-10kg NdFeb in the pure electric vehicles. “The industry participant pointed out.

In terms of the sales percentage in 2020, pure electric vehicles account for 81.57%, and the rest are mostly hybrid vehicles. According to this ratio, 10,000 new energy vehicles will need about 47 tons of rare earth materials, about 25 tons more than fuel cars.

New Energy Sector

We all have a basic understanding of new energy vehicles. Batteries, motors and electronic control are indispensable to a new energy vehicle. The motor plays the same role as the engine of traditional energy vehicles, which is equivalent to the heart of the car, while the power battery is equivalent to the fuel and the blood of the car, and the most indispensable part of the production of the motor is rare earth. The main raw materials for manufacturing modern super permanent magnet materials are Neodymium, Samarium, Praseodymium, Dysprosium and so on. NdFeb has 4-10 times higher magnetism than ordinary permanent magnet materials, and is known as the "king of permanent magnet".

Rare earths can also be found in components such as power batteries. The current common ternary lithium batteries, its full name is " Ternary Material Battery", generally refers to using nickel cobalt manganese acid lithium (Li (NiCoMn) O2, sliding) lithium nickel or cobalt aluminate (NCA) ternary positive electrode material of lithium battery. Make Nickel Salt, Cobalt Salt, Manganese Salt as three different proportions of ingredients for different adjustments, so they called “Ternary”.

As for the addition of different rare earth elements to the positive electrode of ternary lithium battery, the preliminary results show that, due to the large rare earth elements, some elements can make the battery charge and discharge faster, longer service life, more stable battery used, etc., it can be seen that rare earth lithium battery is expected to become the main force of the new generation of power battery. So rare earth is a magic weapon for key car parts.
