Making Rare Earth Magnets Rarer
View presentations which discuss the approaches to minimising rare earth magnet usage, cost rises and some alternative machine topologies.
Recent steep and rapid increases in the cost of rare earth magnets have focussed many minds on where and how rare earth magnets are being used.
Speakers at this timely "Making Rare Earth Magnets Rarer" seminar considered the background to the cost rises, approaches to minimising rare earth magnet usage, and some alternative machine topologies.
