Highlights ASM produced 6kg of a neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) alloy at the Korean Institute of Rare Metals (KIRAM) facility. KIRAM has certified the metallic structure and ratio of key metals (Nd: Fe: B = 32%: 67%: 1%) of the key NdFeB permanent magnet alloy. ASM continues to work on the potential for establishing a…
Highlights ASM produced 120kg of titanium copper alloy (99.5% purity), confirming the commercial scalability of its innovative metallisation process. Improvements to ASM’s metallisation process has doubled the metallic yield. ASM continues to work collaboratively with Dongkuk R&S, on the potential to develop a full-scale metal processing facility. ASM has successfully confirmed the commercial scalability of…
Highlights ASM has produced 200kg of ferro-neodymium (FeNd – Nd 80.3%, Fe 19.9%), a key constituent of strip cast permanent magnet alloys. ASM is working with the Korea Institute for Rare Metals (KIRAM) to produce a strip cast permanent magnet alloy which will be formed and sintered into permanent magnets. Samples of permanent magnets will…
