VACODYM 902 TP – Heavy Rare Earth Free Permanent Magnets
VACODYM® 902 TP – Heavy Rare Earth Free Permanent Magnets
Next-Generation Permanent Magnets: Sustainable, Powerful, and Resource-Efficient
Global reliance on critical raw materials – especially heavy rare earths such as Terbium (Tb) and Dysprosium (Dy) – pose increasing challenges for key industries such as aerospace, industrial automation, electromobility, and other mission critical applications. Volatile raw material costs and market uncertainty are placing considerable pressure on global supply chains. This underscores the critical importance of developing alternative supply chains and establishing domestic, bespoke processes – from metallization to magnet production. Additionally, there is a growing need to reduce reliance on heavy rare earth elements wherever feasible.
VACUUMSCHMELZE GmbH & Co. KG (VAC), a global leader in advanced magnetic materials with over 40 years of experience of manufacturing NdFeB, proudly introduces its latest innovation in the field of rare-earth permanent magnets.
VACODYM® 902 TP
With VACODYM® 902 TP, we present our latest high-performance Neodymium-Iron-Boron (NdFeB) alloy that is entirely free of heavy rare earths (HRE) – without compromising magnetic performance.
This alloy is part of our proven VACODYM® 90X family, a series of NdFeB grades optimized for reduced Terbium and Dysprosium content and excellent magnetic performance. Among them, VACODYM® 902 TP stands out as it is completely HRE‑free and offers maximum flexibility and highest resilience regarding raw material sourcing.
At room temperature, VACODYM® 902 TP reaches a remanence of ≥ 1.40 Tesla and a coercivity of ≥ 1190 kA/m, making it the material of choice for high-performance applications that also demand maximum sourcing flexibility and long-term security.
A key advantage: 100% license-free, established and resilient supply chain from mine to magnet. This gives our customers a reliable, geopolitically independent alternative to existing HRE-based solutions – a vital step toward resilient supply chains and a sustainable product strategy.
Why choose VACODYM® 902 TP?
· Use for high-efficiency electric motors and generators (e.g., in electric vehicles, robotics, automation, renewable energy)
· Future‑proof sustainability – no HRE added
· Supply chain resilience – 100% production in the western world
More to come:
VAC continues to pioneer next-generation HRE-free NdFeB magnets. Development is underway to achieve even higher performance – with remanence up to 1.45 T and coercivity of 1280 kA/m – still without any heavy rare earth content.
