Notes:
Five commercially available magnet types—SmCo5, high- and low-coercivity Sm2(Co,Fe,Cu,Zr)17, (Sm,Ce)(Co,Cu,Mn)7, and Ce(Co,Cu,Fe)5—were systematically studied to obtain a comprehensive overview of the following magnetic properties of interest to the user: reversible and irreversible losses during thermal cycling between 20 °C and 250 °C; open-circuit remanent flux loss during aging at 150 °C and 250 °C up to 2100 h, at permeances of p=−2.5 and −0.5. Room-temperature demagnetization curves before and after aging are compared to distinguish recoverable (magnetic) from irrecoverable (structural) aging effects. The Sm0.5Ce0.5(Co,Cu,Mn)7 magnets had the best long-term stability under all test conditions, followed by the high-Hc 2-17 and SmCo5. The low-Hc 2-17 exhibited the greatest absolute flux loss under all conditions, but it stabilized fairly well after 10 h, and the loss was recoverable by remagnetizing. In contrast, for Ce(Co,Cu,Fe)5 the losses continued up to 2100 h without a sign of flux stabilization.
