Effect of Lubricant Type and Amount on Compound and Magnet Properties
Test Conditions:
– MQEP-B+-20056-077
– 1.55 wt% epoxy
– Flowability was measured through 2.5mm orifice as per ISO 4490 Standard
– 25ml of powder was used to test for apparent density as per ISO 3923/1 Standard
– 25g of powder was used to test tap density as per ISO 3953:1993 Standard
– Magnetic properties were measured on D9.8*H6.45mm, PC=2 cylinder magnets pressed to 6.0g/cm3
Higher lubricant amount helps to improve magnet density.
In general, higher lubricant amount reduces the crush strength
Higher stearate type lubricant also helps to reduce the ejection pressure
No difference was observed between Li2St and ZnSt
