Permanent magnets are made from naturally occurring metals that are easily magnetized, like cobalt, ferrite, iron, nickel, and rare earth metals. These ferromagnetic materials are then combined and altered to create complex and durable magnets ready for use in industrial and commercial sectors.
Raw magnets are turned into powerful industrial magnets through a curing process where the metals are melted in a vacuum and formed into molten alloys. After the alloy has cooled, it is turned into a fine powder before being compressed into the size, shape, strength, and polarity necessary for their future job.
