Magnetic and Physical Characteristics

Many grades of Neodymium magnets exist to support a variety of industrial applications.  The range of Neo grades typically extends from 33 MGOe to 55 MGOe.  This range allows for optimizing cost, performance, and operational temperature resistance.

The typical convention for “Grade” is to use the value of the particular magnet alloy’s Energy Density or Maximum Energy Product.  Often, there are letters or a two digit number suffix attached to the Grade which indicates the Intrinsic Coercive Force (Hci) level of the magnet alloy.  This Hci is a good indicator of the maximum allowable temperature a particular Neo alloy can tolerate before irreversible demagnetizing occurs.

The higher the “Grade number,” the higher the Energy Density.  Usually, the higher the Energy Density, the stronger the magnet, but this is very much dependent upon the magnet’s operational environment.
