Ι What Are Ferrite Disc Magnets?
Ferrite magnets, also called ceramic magnets or hard ferrites, are non-metallic permanent magnets made from Iron Oxide (Fe2O3) together with Barium Carbonate (BaCO3) or Strontium Carbonate (SrCO3) as the main raw materials. Produced by a powder metallurgy process, they combine low cost, moderate magnetic performance, and excellent corrosion resistance, making them well suited for applications where durability and cost-efficiency are important.
Ferrite disc magnets are one of the most basic forms of ferrite magnets, featuring a flat, cylindrical shape. They are usually specified by diameter and thickness, with the thickness always smaller than the diameter, and are available in a wide range of sizes and grades. Thanks to this flexibility, ceramic disc magnets can be matched to many specific needs and are widely used for holding and positioning tasks in both industrial equipment and everyday consumer products.
