Samarium Cobalt

1.Elements combined using a sintering process.

2.Outstanding thermal stability  material is virtually inert - making it ideal for operations in hostile environments and also has a much better temperature tolerance (250°C) compared to Neodymium.

3.Major drawback is cost (approximately 5 x that of neodymium) due to high cost of raw materials, particularly cobalt.

4.Shapes available in this material :-Discs & Rods  -Blocks - Rings  - Others shapes such as arcs
