Neodymium magnets are so practical that some people wish to buy the raw magnet material directly and process it themselves to create a magnetic product that meets their needs. So, is this demand realizable? What are the precautions for purchasing magnet raw materials from manufacturers and processing on your own? The following is a detailed answer for you.
Is it possible to buy magnet raw material directly?
This is of course no problem, you can generally buy the type of materials are neodymium iron boron powder, sintered magnet blanks, magnetic plastic particles, rubber magnetic sheet, generally buy blank materials, can reduce the difficulty of their own processing, like powder type also need some large-scale equipment for sintering and other processes, the individual simply can not be completed.

Problems faced by self-processed magnets
Despite the high flexibility of purchasing raw materials to process magnets on your own, processing magnets has a certain technical threshold, which is due to the hard and brittle characteristics of NdFeB, which makes it difficult and dangerous to process, and also requires specialized equipment, such as slicers, wire cutters, diamond grinding wheels, drilling machines and so on. Magnetization after processing is also a problem, need to have professional magnetizing equipment. Surface treatment of this piece, such as if neodymium magnets also need to be plated, you need to find a plating manufacturer to the magnet for plating treatment.
It is recommended to choose customized magnet manufacturers
Processing magnets by yourself is a lot of suffering, high failure rate, and has some security risks, it is recommended to choose the customized service of magnet manufacturers.
Buy magnet materials from manufacturers and processing them yourself is a flexible but challenging approach. For companies with the capacity and equipment, this approach can reduce costs and increase product customization. However, if you don't have access to machining or want to save time, choosing a customization service from a professional manufacturer may be a more efficient option.
