The global rare earth industry Recent Sintered NdFeB magnets

First, the global rare earth industry Recent Sintered NdFeB magnets

In recent years , because of high production costs in developed countries , while the international market price has been declining magnet , magnet in these countries has been difficult to sustain continued production , and therefore the United States, Europe , represented by the Western developed countries magnetics industry enterprises have been adjusted , the NdFeB industry in the international situation has undergone major changes.

Sintered magnet , the 2000 was sold to the United States Magnequench , 2003 carried out industrial restructuring Magnequench be turned off , the magnetic shift production to China. ) . Currently, the U.S. rare earth industry from its former glory to all of today's decline . In Europe, only two burn Sintered NdFeB magnets manufacturer . June 2003 , Hitachi Metals purchased under the Sumitomo Sumitomo Metal Turgeon 's shares and became the world's largest NdFeB production enterprises, and in April 1, 2004 changed its name to NEOMAX, and stop the Hitachi Metals magnet production in the United States .

Japan also two companies , one is TDK, which is a veteran of magnetic material production enterprises ; also one that is Shin-Etsu Chemical . NEMOAX, TDK and Neorem magnets in China has been established after processing base. German VAC cooperation with three rings , set up in 2005 in Beijing burned Sintered NdFeB magnets joint venture. In addition to both Europe and Japan , the rest of Sintered NdFeB magnets manufacturers all concentrated in China .
