What are the magnetic saturation characteristics of injection molded magnets?
In modern industrial production, injection molded magnets are used more and more widely. Its main function is to generate magnetic fields and are used in various electrical and mechanical equipment. When designing and using injection molded magnets, we need to understand their magnetic saturation characteristics, because it directly affects the effectiveness of the magnet. This article will detail the magnetic saturation characteristics of injection molded magnets.
1. What are magnetic saturation characteristics?
Magnetic saturation refers to the phenomenon that when the magnetic field strength inside the magnet reaches a certain level, the magnetic force can no longer be enhanced by an external magnetic field. This is because the magnetism of a magnet is due to the orderly arrangement of microscopic magnetic moments inside it. When the intensity of the external magnetic field increases to a certain level, the arrangement of the internal magnetic moments will change, causing the magnetism to weaken. This process is called magnetic saturation.
2. Specific manifestations of magnetic saturation characteristics
Decrease in magnetic field strength: When the injection molded magnet is working, its magnetic field strength will gradually decrease. This is because the magnetic moments inside the magnet begin to align in the direction of weaker magnetic field strength, resulting in a decrease in the overall magnetic field strength. This phenomenon can be measured directly with a magnetometer.
Reduced magnetic flux: In the magnetic saturation state, the magnetic flux of the magnet (that is, the area covered by the magnetic field lines) will also decrease. This is because the decrease in magnetic field strength results in a decrease in magnetic flux.
Increased temperature rise: Since the energy consumed by the magnet will increase in the magnetic saturation state, its temperature will increase. This is something to be aware of because high temperatures may affect the magnetic properties of the magnet and may even cause the magnet to fail.
3. How to avoid magnetic saturation?
Reasonable selection of NdFeB materials: NdFeB is the most commonly used injection magnet material and has strong anti-magnetic saturation capabilities. By rationally selecting NdFeB materials and formulas, magnetic saturation can be effectively avoided.
Control the operating temperature: The magnetic saturation point of NdFeB material is usually between 80-100 degrees Celsius. Therefore, controlling the operating temperature of injection molded magnets can effectively delay the occurrence of magnetic saturation.
Change the injection molding method: By changing the injection molding method of the magnet, such as changing the design of the injection mold, the magnetic moment arrangement inside the magnet can be changed, thereby avoiding the occurrence of magnetic saturation.
4. Conclusion
In general, the magnetic saturation characteristics of injection molded magnets mainly include the decrease of magnetic field intensity, the decrease of magnetic flux and the increase of temperature rise. When using injection molded magnets, we need to understand these characteristics in order to better control and use the magnets. At the same time, through reasonable selection of materials and design of injection molding methods, the occurrence of magnetic saturation can be effectively avoided and the performance and service life of the magnets can be guaranteed.
5. Case sharing
Let us further understand the magnetic saturation characteristics through a practical case. Suppose we have an injection molded magnet made of NdFeB material with an operating temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. In practical applications, we found that in a certain working environment, the magnetic field intensity suddenly dropped by 50%. After detailed analysis and experimental verification, we determined that this was due to magnetic saturation. Then, we can solve this problem by adjusting the working temperature or changing the injection molding method. This case tells us that understanding and mastering the magnetic saturation characteristics is of great significance for the correct use and maintenance of injection molded magnets.

"Since 2006, we found Mr.Guo and get products from him. We used magnets under the earth for the gas and water pipe industries. We have met no problem. We have been working in very happy ways. We have many cooperation. Every year, we spent time together and sometimes, we invited him to Korea. He is our younger brother. Strongly recommended!!"

"I had email to Mr. Guo for rare earth magnet requirements. They replied my e-mail promptly, and were very professional. Mr. Guo’s team still continues to deliver rare earth magnets to our agreed specifications with a very high quality standard since 2012. His team is very professional and thorough with its work. Based on my experience, I would highly recommend them."
