Permanent ceramic or ferrite magnets

CPC v2.1 Code: 46932

About permanent ceramic or ferrite magnets

cpc code 46932 covers the production of permanent ceramic or ferrite magnets. These magnets are essential components in a wide range of industries, from consumer electronics to industrial machinery. They play a crucial role in the functioning of motors, generators, sensors, and various other devices that rely on magnetic fields. The global permanent magnet market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for energy-efficient and high-performance technologies across various sectors.

Production process

The production of permanent ceramic or ferrite magnets typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, such as iron oxide, barium, or strontium compounds, are mixed and ground into a fine powder. This powder is then pressed into the desired shape, often using a powerful hydraulic press. The shaped magnets are then sintered, a process that involves heating the material to high temperatures to fuse the particles together and increase their density. Finally, the magnets may undergo additional processing, such as coating or magnetization, to enhance their properties and performance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of permanent ceramic or ferrite magnets include raw materials like iron oxide, barium, or strontium compounds, as well as specialized machinery for mixing, pressing, and sintering the materials. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the production process. Skilled labor, including engineers and technicians, is also a crucial input for this industry.
