SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the feasibility of creating compressed "non-bonded" magnets without using a binder, such as epoxy, and sealing them hermetically in a can-like structure. Participants mention that while bonded magnets utilize adhesive for cohesion, sintered magnets may serve as an alternative for those seeking a non-bonded solution. The conversation highlights the potential for using ceramic magnets, which are non-reactive, and suggests over-molding with Teflon for specific applications. Manufacturers capable of producing such encapsulated magnets are sought after in this context.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of magnet types: bonded, sintered, and ceramic magnets
  • Knowledge of magnet manufacturing processes
  • Familiarity with encapsulation techniques, such as over-molding
  • Basic principles of magnetism and material properties
NEXT STEPS
  • Research sintered magnet manufacturing techniques
  • Explore encapsulation methods for magnets, focusing on Teflon over-molding
  • Investigate the properties and applications of ceramic magnets
  • Identify manufacturers specializing in custom magnet solutions
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, material scientists, and product developers interested in advanced magnet manufacturing techniques and applications.

Compressed "non-bonded" magnet - possible?

Dear everyone
As opposed to a bonded magnet being magnet powder "glued" together with e.g. epoxy and which is incapsulated as to prevent corrosion - does anyone know if one can instead compress magnet powder without a binder directly in a can-like object and seal it of hermetically afterwards? And if so, who is capable of manufacturing such an incapsulated and "non-bonded" magnet?
Thank you millions in advance for your time and consideration.

Ceramic magnets are fairly non-reactive, but I've seen them over-molded with Teflon for an ultrapure application. Of course, you have to pay for an injection mold.

Good luck,

Aside from bonded magnets, there are also sintered magnets, would those suit your purposes?
