N Series
Shin-Etsu's N Series neodymium magnets-composed of neodymium (Nd), iron (Fe), and boron (B)-boast the highest performance of all rare earth magnets. As neodymium is relatively abundant, the cost of these devices is also more reasonable than that of comparable classes of clasamarium (Sm) magnets. Application of Nd magnets is expanding rapidly in various fields as their cost/performance advantages gain recognition. Corrosion resistance, formerly considered to be a drawback, has been improved through various types of surface processing, including nickel(Ni)plating. As a result, these magnets now deliver optimal performance for virtually any application.
