N42

N42 Grade Sintered Neodymium-Iron-Boron Magnets

These are also referred to as "Neo" or NdFeB magnets. They offer a

combination of high magnetic output at moderate cost. Please contact ALB Characteristic Units C // C
for additional grade information and recommendations for protective coating.
Reversible Temperature Coefficients (1)
Assemblies using these magnets can also be provided.
