Permanent metallic magnets

CPC v2.1 Code: 46931

About permanent metallic magnets

cpc code 46931 covers the production of permanent metallic magnets, a critical component in a wide range of industries. These magnets are essential for the functioning of various electronic devices, motors, and industrial equipment. They play a crucial role in the modern economy, enabling the development of technologies that have transformed our daily lives.

Production process

Permanent metallic magnets are typically produced through a process called sintering. This involves compacting metal powders, such as neodymium, samarium, or alnico, into the desired shape and then heating them to high temperatures to fuse the particles together. The resulting magnets are then magnetized, coated, and finished to meet specific performance and durability requirements.

Production inputs

The production of permanent metallic magnets requires a range of raw materials, including rare earth metals, transition metals, and various alloys. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as powder compaction presses and sintering furnaces, are essential for the manufacturing process. Energy, labor, and quality control systems are also important inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 46931 is permanent metallic magnets, which are used in a wide variety of applications. These magnets are often consumed by industries such as 46932 Electric motors, 46933 Generators, and 46934 Transformers, as well as in the production of consumer electronics, medical equipment, and industrial automation systems.
