Updated Handbook on Permanent Magnet Materials V35

CMI Highlight: Updated Handbook on Permanent  Magnet Materials V35

CMI researchers at Ames National Laboratory conducted the research for this highlight.

Achievement
New chapter on the synthesis and fabrication of iron-based nitride permanent magnets for the 35th volume of the Handbook of Permanent Magnet Materials.

Significance and Impact

• Nitriding ferromagnetic compounds has been a growing field in permanent magnet (PM) research as a ‘critical material free’ means of boosting performance in known PM and motivating the search for new materials.
• Chapter is important reference summary of R&D efforts on Fe₁₆N₂ and Sm₂Fe₁₇N₃ magnet materials and will help guide future community R&D on these materials, thus aiding magnet technology progress.

Hub Goal Addressed 
Accelerate innovation that will help secure supply chains.
