HRL Laboratories, LLC, has begun work on the surface laser architected magnets (SLAM) project to improve magnets within electric vehicle motors, a new Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E)- funded effort. […]
Amidst rising demand for rare earth minerals to supply magnets for manufacturers of motors for electric vehicles and for wind turbines, Japan has committed another AUDS$200 million to Australian producer Lynas Rare Earths for a favored supply chain. The latest tranche, worth about US $135 million, brings total commitment up to about US$400 million. […]
Niron Magnetics, the company pioneering the development of iron nitride magnets that are high-performance permanent magnets free of rare earths, is scaling up to evolve its company to become a significant player on the magnet market. One of its latest steps has been to appoint Jonathan Rowntree as new CEO. The leadership change and other key appointments represent a planned evolution of the company as it advances from a focus on development towards scaling, commercialization, and productization of its patented Clean Earth Magnet technology. […]
MP Materials and Sumitomo Corporation have forged a rare earths supply agreement which they say will diversify and strengthen rare earth supplies in Japan. Under the agreement, announced February 21, Sumitomo will serve as the exclusive distributor of NdPr oxide produced by MP Materials to Japanese customers. Further, the companies will collaborate on the supply of rare earth metals and other products. […]
MagREEsource, a spin-off of the CNRS-Institut Néel, is organizing a Euro 5 Million fundraising that will enable it to establish a 50-ton-per year magnet recycling facility this year in Grenoble, France with aims toward 500-ton […]
Flush on the closing of its acquisition by an investment consortium, Hitachi Metals tomorrow becomes Proterial as it positions for its NMF 15 ferrite magnets to become an alternative in certain situations to the industry-standard neodymium magnetic material for electric vehicle traction motors. […]
Using its molded MagFine alloy, Aichi Steel reports that it has developed in collaboration with Tohoku University an experimental e-axle that is 40% lighter and smaller than conventional designs. It combines a newly developed compact […]
Using its molded MagFine alloy, Aichi Steel reports that it has developed in collaboration with Tohoku University an experimental e-axle that is 40% lighter and smaller than conventional designs. It combines a newly developed compact high-speed reducer with a compact and lightweight 34,000 rpm motor. For the first time, says the company, it has succeeded in proofing the technology of a high-speed, high-reduction next-generation electric axle with high-speed rotation and high deceleration that contributes to weight reduction. […]
The American subsidiary of Australian-based Lynas Rare Earths has been awarded a follow-on contract for approximately $120 million by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to establish a first of its kind commercial heavy rare earths (HRE) separation facility in the United States. […]
MP Materials has begun construction of its previously announced rare earth metal, alloy, and magnet manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas, marking a significant return of magnet manufacturing operations in North America. The facility is […]
