Well all rare earth is basic in theory. Our rare earth is a type we order per spec. There’s about six types of rare earth pills. Ours are better for high temp magnetism retention.

Actually yes you can. All rare earth comes on standard grades that each have a different type of magnetic retention under temperature. There are even more specialist blends if material for gauss ratings that allow small pill sized magnets to have ten times what the other ones do. It’s just you compromise something. But it can be done.

Well we order ours with a internal magnet spec. It’s pretty straight forward. There are about six suppliers of pills like these.

Are you using the big N word with boron my good sir?

N comes in 60 types of series compositions. You can start guessing

- N30 – N52
- N30M – N50M
Nd2Fe14B, bonded With Terbium atoms (along those lines I’d assume)

So those are catalog blends they solidify into a g#. There’s actually more than that. But alot of those companies whom I won’t mention don’t advertise thier blend type.

Ok so some type or blend of neodymium?

I figured knowing your stance on it from guessing the N word you like;y went with a bonded pill not Sinistered as that’s a stronger equivalent of the 2-3 types of forms. Then it would just be a matter of figuring out which grade you like being the first 2 lines I posted & then customizing it to be layered with certain atoms to be higher rated. (Specific blends) IP which I don’t wanna branch into. I’m just here to see some science about it

Steps to classic SPDking bait and switch
- Make absurd and outlandish claims. The more absurd the better, but it has to be at least somewhat believable
- Tell people you have a special technology or method. You literally reinvented the wheel
- Tell people that challenge your claims that your working on it in secret and cannot show results or that testing was done under special conditions.
- Explain your tech using unclear semi-scientific sounding vocabulary and made up words. This will confuse people with a scientific background as they attempt to decipher while simultaneously impressing those without much scientific education.
- Tell people they need to call the shop or see it in person.
- Sell them something else.

The ones I use from Corning are about $35 USD each. You can get similar from Fisher Chemical for about $8 each.
For sure! I always have had a wooden box with a foam insert for storage. The jarring motions change the alignment of the crystal structure and throw everything off (I learned this today…before I knew you had to be gentle with them from that one time I was juggling with them and got told off my the PhDs…hahaha) and you can’t realign them. There’s even evidence that you can re-magnetize things as long as they don’t get “too hot” and too hot is defined by the type of magnet. Too hot for the ones I use from Corning is rated at above 300C.
What kind of temperatures are you running at? Do you see a linear degradation? Is this a place where a vendor could come in and make a better stir bar? Or is it really just a race to the bottom on consumables due to the funding you mentioned? I’ve been using them for so long I never even considered this as a problem. I’ve been using prop mixing at larger scale for decarb and SPD so I didn’t realize this was an issue for people!
The sheer amount of learning I get every day even at this later stage in my career is just awesome. <3

There are several different type of rare earth materials. Not just the big n.

But it is the most dynamic for your spec no

I tottaly understand. I’m working on a couple projects with my rare earth componentry, I’m not so familiar with off the shelf of catalog magnets. I know about a handfull of information. Alot of the new stuff I’ve been working with is all proprietary and custom material from a really large conglomerate materials manufacturer. I’m just not into divulging what I’m doing exactly but I can say that previously most people have rally just been working with the common grade “generic” rare earth types. I’m commercial applications the engineering departments in the materials division can make you custom shit.

Actually I do…since your all about looking over peoples shoulders I’ll give you a sneak peek.
I am working on a new mantle heating technology with novel “mag drive” setup as the rumors are true. This is proprietary through out and soon I’ll release the mag technology publicly.
I am working on a custom rare earth pills that performs exponentially better than standard.
Yes spd8 is about to release. And in the wild with test units out there.
I sometimes say things sorta convoluted on purpose bc I don’t exactly Wana give away what I’m doing.
Hope that keeps your Willy’s in line for the time being.

Neodymium is the strongest rare earth material so are you saying it is made of neodymium or not? If it is not then it’s not the strongest magnet. Simple as that.

I can’t imagine how much this is itching at you with what I’m doing.
Current rare earth pills are a standard type of neo.
Most neo work is straight forward.
Our new magents in devices that require them are a proprietary composite of materials special ordered for our needs. I’m sorry but I can divulge it. I will however present and demonste a example of gauss data when the time comes. For the pills we are sourcing a material that’s just neo style but super high temp . For mixing systems can’t say much more bc of the novel device that actually uses the magnets is not something I want to discuss.
