Ames Laboratory, Molycorp Partner to Develop New Processing Techniques for Rare-Earth Permanent Magnets

Ames Laboratory, a unit of the U.S. Department of Energy, has inked a research & development partnership deal with Molycorp, manufacturer of rare-earth oxides, to develop new processes to manufacture commercial-grade rare-earth permanent magnets.

Molycorp has over five decades of expertise in the development and commercialization of groundbreaking processing technologies for rare earth materials, while Ames Laboratory has over six decades of research expertise in the materials science domain.

The Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President of Molycorp, John Burba, and Ames Laboratory scientists, Karl Gschneidner Jr. and Vitalij Pecharsky, are the principle researchers in the project.

AMES实验室研究人员将研究各种比例的稀土材料和生产方法，以生产与现有近代铁磁铁具有相似属性的永久稀土磁铁。欧洲杯足球竞彩所研究材料的组合将与莫利科普山口矿山中的稀土材料的比例相匹配。欧洲杯足球竞彩研究人员将使用低成本和环保的方法进行研究。Karl Gschneidner将担任AMES实验室研究小组的负责人。

Gschneidner commented that the partnership will train post-doctoral students, graduates and undergraduates in the rare earth research and fill the gap in intellectual infrastructure of rare earth materials.

The President and Chief Executive Officer at Molycorp, Mark Smith, commented that the research collaboration would bring advancements in the designing and production of rare-earth magnets.
