Permanent rectangular samarium magnet AS 02
Samarium magnetHigh holding power
. Samarium cobalt magnets are sintered magnets composed of samarium powder and cobalt. They have a high magnetic strength and are fragile ceramics that should not be in presence of chlorine and hydrogen.
. The strength is highest when the magnet is in contact with a mild steel, that is clean and thick enough. The strength is reduced when in contact with alloy steels (cast Iron -30%), due to air-gap or a high temperature (-0.04% per degree °C). Samarium magnets are not machinable, they can not be cut or drilled and mounting is done with glue. Magnetized depending on thickness.
