Magnetics 2008 Meeting Denver CO May 15-16 2008

Title: Advances in Samarium Cobalt Magnet Technology and US Defense Contractual Considerations

This talk will provide an update on the most recent advances in samarium cobalt magnet technology and its applications. New advances in temperature compensated samarium cobalt magnet materials and developments in higher performance samarium cobalt grades will be discussed. We will review the final results of the design, fabrication and testing of a 538° C permanent magnet bearing powered by a PM motor operating at these same temperatures with its associated unique test apparatus built under a three year NASA program. Recent US laws and codification of domestic preferences for specialty metals used in US Department of Defense systems continue to change. An up to the moment status report will be provided on the contractual and legal implications to permanent magnets and systems produced for US DOD end uses.
