In the field of advanced permanent magnet materials, the hot-press ring magnet has emerged as a preferred choice for high-performance rotating and sensing applications. Known for its structural integrity and stable magnetic properties, this magnet type is produced using a sophisticated hot-press forming technique. Ningbo Jinji Strong Magnetic Material Co., Ltd., a professional manufacturer in the field, specializes in the production and customization of high-quality hot-press ring magnets tailored for demanding industrial applications.
What Is a Hot-Press Ring Magnet?
A hot-press ring magnet is a precision-engineered permanent magnet shaped into a ring through high-temperature and high-pressure compression molding. Unlike traditional magnets that may be sintered or injection molded, hot-press magnets are created by pressing ferrite powder or rare earth magnetic powder (such as NdFeB or SmCo) at elevated temperatures. This process results in a dense, high-strength magnetic ring with excellent structural uniformity and magnetic stability.
Hot-Pressing Process: High Heat Meets High Precision
The hot-pressing technique involves placing pre-treated magnetic powder into a ring-shaped mold and subjecting it to both heat and pressure simultaneously. Key characteristics of this process include:
-
High temperature (typically 200–400°C) activates the binder or enhances powder plasticity.
-
Axial or radial pressure (hundreds of MPa) compresses the powder into a dense, homogenous structure.
-
No post-sintering needed, reducing shrinkage and dimensional error.
-
Magnetic orientation can be achieved during forming for directional magnetic properties.
This process not only improves mechanical strength but also offers better dimensional control than sintering, making it ideal for high-precision applications.
Comparison with Sintered and Injection Molded Magnets
| Feature | Hot-Press Ring Magnet | Sintered Magnet | Injection Molded Magnet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Density | High | High | Low to medium |
| Magnetic performance | Medium to high | Highest (esp. NdFeB) | Moderate |
| Mechanical strength | Excellent | Brittle | Good |
| Complex shape feasibility | Moderate | Low | High |
| Dimensional accuracy | High (no sintering shrinkage) | Needs post-machining | Very high |
| Thermal stability | Good (material-dependent) | Very good (SmCo best) | Limited |
Hot-press ring magnets offer a balanced performance between high-density sintered magnets and flexible injection molded magnets. They are particularly suitable when moderate-to-high magnetic strength is required, along with mechanical robustness and better shape accuracy.
