AXIS MAGNETICS

Dysprosium-Free Magnet Sourcing

Dysprosium-free magnets reviewed against the required magnet performance or specs.

Dysprosium-free magnets, Dy/Tb-free magnets, HREE-Free magnets, and Heavy Rare Earth-Free magnets describe the same practical sourcing intent: avoiding restricted heavy rare earth content where the application allows. Axis Magnetics can help compare those options against the required magnetic output, temperature margin, coercivity, geometry, coating, magnetization, and validation plan.

Sourcing focus

Each review starts with the application, then works through material, coating, magnetization, validation, origin, and production requirements.

Dysprosium-free does not mean unqualified

A Dy-free path still needs engineering review. The proposed magnet should be checked against the application's output target, maximum magnet temperature, reverse field exposure, magnet thickness, coating environment, magnetization direction, and inspection method.

Factories can provide comparison data

Depending on the application and industry, factories can often provide extensive comparison data between HRE-containing and HRE-Free options in advance. That helps engineering, sourcing, and quality teams decide whether a dysprosium-free option is practical before production timing gets tight.

When SmCo or another material should be reviewed

Not every program should force a one-for-one NdFeB substitution. SmCo, bonded NdFeB, injection molded magnets, ferrite, alternate coatings, or assembly-level changes can be part of the review when the target specs or operating environment point away from standard sintered NdFeB.

Export-restriction-aware sourcing

Programs with Dy/Tb exposure may face added documentation, disclosure, lead-time, or licensing friction. A dysprosium-free or Heavy Rare Earth-Free sourcing path can reduce that trigger when the performance target and validation requirements can still be met.
