The full name of
SmCo magnet is
samarium cobalt magnet ,another magnet of
strong permanent rare earth magnets. They are manufactured by using powder metallurgy techniq-
ues which include stringent process controls and complicated heat treatment cycles. So, samarium cobalt is price sensitive due to cobalt supply and demand.
Characteristics of Samarum Cobalt magnets:
excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation
extremely brittle
suitable in a temperature of over100°C to 350°C
low temperature coefficient and high performance
Application of Samarum Cobalt magnets:
machine tools, robotics, relays, sensors, motors, UHV magnetrons, watches, transducers ,
instruments, positional detectors, generators, radars, and growing automotive applications etc
