International aspects: the second half of 2011 because of the high prices, foreign order down sharply, China’s rare earth export basic stagnation, 2011 years of China’s rare earth export quota used only 49%. Export “limited loosening” on 30 January this year, the WTO appeal institution of the United States, the European Union, Mexico v. China 9 kinds of raw materials export restrictions the WTO dispute case measures released report award, policy led to the export stagnation index mining and smuggling long-standing, appropriate international market not only helps to let go to break the stalemate of the market, but also to China’s rare earth industry development advantage. Market outlook predicted, with China’s rare earth export “loose”, export increase will make domestic supply relatively less, rare earth domestic prices and rising stabilising. Cause rare earth exports will further increase domestic. In domestic market supply reduced correspondingly, stable domestic market to have a positive effect.

Magnet may transform high-field research 2

Magnet may transform high-field research

The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Florida State University says it’s been given nearly $3 million to build a new kind of superconducting magnet.
Officials say they expect the new magnet will break records for magnetic field strength, make possible new types of science and save vast amounts of energy and money.

The magnet, funded by a $2 million National Science Foundation grant and a $1 million award from the university, is expected to generate a magnetic field of 32 Tesla. Tesla is the scientific unit of measure of magnetic field strength.

Scientists said such a magnetic field would be more than 3,000 times stronger than a typical refrigerator magnet, and about 45 percent more powerful than the strongest superconducting magnets available today.

The material that will be used for the new magnet is a type of high-temperature superconductor called yttrium barium copper oxide. Researchers say it promises to revolutionize research in high magnetic fields.
The magnet is scheduled for completion in 2012.

Micro-structure-influence research on the double phase nano-composite permanent magnet

As new permanent magnets, double-phase nanocomposite permanent magnets have recently attracted considerable attention. This type of alloys integrates advantages of hard magnetic phase??s high magnetocrystalline anisotropy and soft magnetic phase??s high saturation magnetization, and obtains the excellent magnetic properties through exchange-coupled interaction on a scale of the order nm. Theoretical estimation indicates that double-phase nanocomposite permanent magnet material??s energy product may reach as high as 800kJ/m3, higher than any kind of single-phase permanent-magnet material. This kind of material also has characteristics of low rare earth content and good chemical stability, Therefore, it is of great practical value and to be the new generation of low price caking permanent-magnet material, it will have promising application prospect.
Firstly, this author studied the take-shape craft of double-phase nanocomposite permanent magnet material, including the performance by pressure and time??s maintenance to magnet??s density and the magnetism.
The result indicates that the magnet density increases along with the pressure and time. The magnet density reaches the biggest one when pressure is 600MPa and time is 150s. When the pressure or the time is continually increased, the magnet density will no longer increase, there is possibility to create break interior and reduce the production efficiency. This suppressed craft was still used in following experiments.

Optimization Design of Permanent Magnetic Mechanism in High Magnetic Field 5

Optimization Design of Permanent Magnetic Mechanism in High Magnetic Field

Optimization Design of  Permanent Magnetic Mechanism in High Magnetic Field

The permanent magnets with high field intensity are used in medical systems,military affair and high-energy physics fields.They are usually electromagnets or superconductor magnets at present.If we design the size of the permanent magnetic mechanism properly,there will be much higher magnetic field than its remanence in the center,and it can replace the superconductor magnet and electromagnet.So with the development of properties about permanent magnetic material,the optimization design of the permanent magnetic mechanism with high magnetic field must develop well in the future in the magnetic field.

There is a kind of special permanent magnetic mechanism permanent magic ring which is made up of permanent magnet blocks.Their magnetized direction changes equably.In the assembly complex process, the permanent magnet blocks with different magnetized direction will impact each other, and might bring the local demagnetization or saturation.So the work point of permanent magnetic material might be at the whole hysteresis loop including minor hysteresis loop.The traditional method only considers the demagnetized curve of the magnetic material, so inevitably there are some errors in simulating the magnetic characteristic in the high magnetic field.

The Crackdown on Illegal Rare Earth Mining 6

The Crackdown on Illegal Rare Earth Mining

The illegal rare earth mining in China have resulted in skewed export numbers with further implications reaching to the loss of revenue, held down prices, and environmental concerns surrounding the small operations. In the face of this problem, the Chinese government has repeatedly vowed to shut down these illegal mining operations a task proving to be more difficult to achieve. However, mining and processing rare earth elements is difficult to undertake beneath the watchful eye of the Chinese government. This has raised the question of how illegal and clandestine these rare earth operations truly are.
Although official numbers are impossible to judge due to the illicit nature of the operations, Dr. Chen Zhanheng, Deputy Director of the Chinese Society of Rare Earth stated, It is estimated that there were about 30 to 40 thousand tons of rare earth products smuggled from China every year.

Rare Earth Investing News spoke with Christopher Ecclestone, Mining Strategist for Hallgarten and Co. about the Chinese crackdown on illegal mining operations and the effects on the rare earth market.
I don’t think they know what the numbers are, so I would not hazard a guess. None of the illegal producers are big operations, so how can anyone know how much they are producing? stated Ecclestone, adding, Unless the illegals are not as illegal as we think they are. A country that dominates the rare earth space, and has that many producers engaged in illegal activity, and doing all this in a relatively small geographical area, if the Chinese government had wanted to stop it, they could have years ago.
Due to the fact that there is no real way of knowing the exact total of illegally produced rare earth elements, according to Christopher Ecclestone, the very definition of illegal mining is something to question. Furthermore, the rare earth mining process and the complexity of processing operations, calls into question the clandestine nature of these illegal operations. It is hard to believe that these operations have been going on for years under the nose of the Chinese government.
I think the government is just changing the definition. It’s so big, and it’s been going on for so long in the open. We are talking about moving rivers, and other major earth works to accomplish the mining, and the government does not know that this is going on? I find it totally incredulous, stated Ecclestone, adding, You have to also process the material, get it to the ports, and ship the material out of the ports, I just don’t believe it was ever illegal.
When asked whether the crackdown on small scale operations could be an attempt to consolidate the rare earth industry, a stated goal of the Chinese government, Christopher Ecclestone stated, Yes, exactly. They did the same thing in the coal mining industry, where a lot of small coal mining operations were closed down. A lot of small scale mining happens in China, it’s not always individuals. It could be the local towns, or mining brigades, collectives that are engaged in mining activities.
The small scale operations that are being shut down may just be a ploy to further consolidate the rare earth space in China. The southern province of Jiangxi has only 88 licenses for rare earth mines soon to be whittled down to one mega-licensebut small producers have typically eluded Beijing’s reach, reported Leslie Hook, for the Financial Times. The change of definition from small rare earth producer to illegal miner could be just the tool to further consolidate the industry, shutdown a significant production, and further raise the price of rare earth elements.
The Chinese government has stepped up its enforcement of rare earth mining operations without an official license. What effect the crackdown will have on exports is hard to gauge. Undoubtedly, the reduced production will continue to support the high price of the material. However, the strict official export quota has far more effect on pricing than the illegal smuggling of the rare earth elements.

China has announced the first programmatic document of rare earth, rare earth is a large-scale reorganization of enterprises

From the “opinions” content can be clearly seen that our country is systematically and seriously promote the development of rare earth industry. In order to effectively advance the pace of merger and reorganization, the state environmental access system, export management, taxation and other aspects of the policy will apply more stringent. Access in the industry “views”, said rare earth industry in China will be stricter access management, on the rare earth resources in the implementation of more stringent protective mining policy and environmental protection standards, accelerating the development and improvement of rare earth mining and production standards in product quality , process equipment, access requirements put forward in nine. While the implementation of strict environmental access system, strictly implement the “rare earth industry emission standards”, the development of rare earth industry, environmental risk assessment system. Rare earth industry in the strict access management at the same time, export management will also be further strengthened. According to “Opinions” in the strict control of the total rare earth mining and production, while, strictly control the rare earth metals, oxides, salts and rare earth ferroalloy exports of primary products, the exploration, production, consumption and export restrictions should be implemented simultaneously. Overall consideration of domestic resources and production, consumption and international market conditions, reasonably determine the total annual export quota of rare earth. Improve the allocation of export quotas, severely punish the reselling of rare earth export quota acts.

The Exploration of Nd-Fe-B Permanent Magnetic Materials 10

The Exploration of Nd-Fe-B Permanent Magnetic Materials

In this these Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets are prepared by the means of vacuum sintering process.Otherwise the influence of different additives and texture on performance are respectively studied.The samples are prepared as the element proportion(Pr-Nd)33.5Fe64.85B1.15A10.5 by smelting and casting??pneumatic milling for powder??doping and mixing sufficiently??orientation and forming??vacuum sintering??mechanical treatment and etc.The experimental results shows:
(1)In the same progress of sintering??the coercivity of sintering magnet is firstly increased and then decreased with the increasing of AIN addition amount??whose maximum occurs in the point of 0.55%.but the remnant magnetism and magnetic energy product declined with its increasing.
(2)The addition of Cu makes the same trend of coercivity with AIN??but the maximum appears in the point of 0.3%.
(3)The maximum working temperature Tm of Nd-Fe-B has been computed by the theoretical formula and experimental parameter??through which the theoretical value of coercivity also has been compute din directly.

The crystal texture of magnetic body inevitably exists some difference by molding indifferent magnetic fields??which reflects the regular changes of mechanical properties in macro.As a result that Nd-Fe-B material belongs to the brittle material and has the high hardness??its mechanical properties may be improved by changing its crystal texture.The experimental result shows:
(1)In different magnetic fields??the intensity of x-ray diffraction peak of different crystal face perpendicular to the e-axis direction changes??in which the changes of (004)??(105)??(006) and(008) faces are obvious.
(2)The magnetic properties of Nd-Fe-B change with different orientation of samples??in which the remanence falls but the coercivity remain changeless.
(3)The hardness of sample decreases with the increasing of orientation intensity??which shows some relationship between crystal texture and mechanical properties.This paper adopt Hitachi s-3400N SEM??DGN-3 DC Magnetic Testing Instrumentation??BDX3200 XRD??HV-120 Vickers Hardness??Hv-1 Micro-hardness to test the crystal phase??magnetic properties?? orientation degree and hardness.There sults show that the addition of AIN and Cu makes different effects on the coereivity and maximum working temperature of Nd-Fe-B permanent-magnetic material.In addition the hardness and remnant magnetism of magnetic body exist some relationship with the crystal texture.
