Market Description
NdFeB sintered magnets are the strongest commercially available permanent magnets, used in EV traction motors, wind turbine generators, hard disk drives, and consumer electronics. They contain approximately 28-32% neodymium by weight and often include dysprosium or terbium for high-temperature performance. China produces over 90% of global supply.
Composition
- Neodymium (Nd) - 30%
- Dysprosium (Dy) - 2%
