Ferrite Magnets
Ferrite magnets, also known as called ceramic magnets are made of Strontium Ferrite Powder or Barium Ferrite Powder by ceramic processing technology. They are a low cost alternative to metallic magnets and have more resistance to corrosion than rare earth magnets.
Although they provide less energy than other magnets, hard ferrite magnets are frequently preferred because of their stability, resistance to demagnetization, and corrosion resistance properties. Ferrite Magnets also prove to be cost effective due to their comparatively low price per unit of magnetic output. They are widely used in electronics, mining, metallurgy and health therapy applications.
Ferrite magnet can be made into various sizes of block magnets, bar magnets, disc magnets, ring magnets etc.
Measured by weight, ferrite magnets represent more than three fourths of the world magnet consumption.
