Dysprosium and Neodymium , the key to sustainable energy initiatives.
Dysprosium and Neodymium, the key to permanent magnets.
Neodymium/Iron/Boron permanent magnets (NdFeB)
Magnet applications
• 27% (33 250 tonnes) of global demand in 2010 (13% in 2000)
• Highest growth forecast of all applications: 11-13%/year
• 95% of magnet applications are Neodymium permanent magnets (« Neo-magnets »)
• Neo-magnets market in 2010 : ~ $6G
