One of the major advantages our new pressless magnet fabs (#NPLP) have over traditional Transverse Die Pressing (#TDP) is solving issues associated with the scarcity and high price of heavy rare earth elements (#REE) by eliminating the need for the use of dysprosium (#Dy) in the magnetic powder. NPLP uses finer neodymium-based powders (#NdFeB) than those used in TDP mold, yielding better microstructures in the resultant sintered magnets. #electricvehiclesarethefuture #permanentmagnet #japanbusiness
Industrial Base Analysis & Sustainment (IBAS) The U. S. Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Policy has requested US$1.1 billion under the IBAS program prioritizing industrial capability development in areas such as critical chemicals, castings & forgings, and energy storage. This request allocates US$192.7 million to developing a midstream magnet supply chain, a critical step in developing domestic mine-to-magnet capabilities and reshoring some magnet production to the US. The #IBAS is also looking to strengthen the US supply of rare earth element oxides (#REO) and metals while supporting the development of resources for defense applications. Nihon Denji Sokki Co., Ltd. (NDK) is one of the few global providers of magnetic applications solutions including the capability to provide a full range of magnet fabrication equipment to our stakeholders worldwide. We believe that for the U.S. to achieve its mine-to-magnet industrial strategy it will not only be necessary to expand the production of #neodymium but also reduce or eliminate heavy rare-earth (#HREE) content such as dysprosium (#Dy) and terbium (#Tb) within permanent magnets. This will be an important step in creating an #emoblity future. The United States Department of Defense (#DoD) lays out these plans in its National Defense Industrial Strategy Implementation Plan (#NDIS-IP) which it released on Oct. 29.
