Effect of Epoxy Amount on Magnet Properties
Crush strength generally exhibits a linear relationship with the epoxy amount
Test Conditions:
– Ejection pressure was measured on cylinder magnets OD6.0 X H10.0mm pressed at 6.0t/cm2
– Crush strength was measured on ring magnets OD20.8 X ID18.6 X H5.0mm pressed at 6.0g/cm3
Impact on magnet properties with different amount of epoxy under fixed pressure
OD9.8 X H6.5mm, PC=2 cylinder magnets pressed under fixed pressure at 9.0t/cm2.
Hci ~9.8kOe (780kA/m) for all magnets.
Change in pressure needed to achieve same magnet density for different epoxy rates
OD9.8 X H6.5mm, PC=2 cylinder magnets pressed to achieve density of 6.0g/cm3.
At constant density, the additional amount of epoxy reduces the amount of magnet material causing decreases in Br and BHmax.
Hci ~9.8kOe (780kA/m) for all magnets.
