Sintering / casting
Our sintered & cast materialsNeofer®, Ox®, Alnico® & Seco
Our materials Ox 100, Ox 400, Seco 170/120 as well as Neofer 230/80 and Neofer 230/120 are manufactured using a sintering process. The preform materials are mixed and compressed to the required shape under pressure. Magnets with anisotropic properties are compressed in a magnetic field using specially manufactured electromagnetic tools. After being shaped, these so-called “green products” undergo a high-temperature treatment known as sintering. During this treatment, they increase in density and rigidity and the magnets acquire their final form and strength.
The qualities of Seco and Neofer result in excellent magnetic properties.
Out AlNiCo materials are manufactured using an injection-molding procedure. In this procedure, the metal alloy (aluminum, nickel, cobalt, iron) is cast in the required shape and is then subject to a number of heat treatment stages. These products acquire their anisotropic properties by means of annealing in the magnetic field.
The sintered and cast materials are very brittle and can only be machined by means of grinding or erosion.
