Vacuum Aluminum

The coating is uniform and dense, bonds well to the substrate and provides excellent corrosion resistance.

The appropriate coating is selected for each project according to the operating environment, corrosion exposure, bonding process and visual requirements.

GBD Technology

Diffusion Process (GBD)

Grain-boundary diffusion applies small amounts of heavy rare-earth elements such as dysprosium (Dy) or terbium (Tb) to the magnet surface. During vacuum heat treatment, they diffuse into the magnet along the grain boundaries.

This significantly improves intrinsic coercivity Hcj and temperature stability while largely retaining remanence Br and maximum energy product.

Dy / TbHcj ↑Br ≈Vacuum Process

Higher coercivity

Improved resistance to demagnetization for demanding applications.

Efficient material use

Heavy rare earths are concentrated in the magnet zones where they are most effective.

Stable high-temperature performance

Extended operating range for motors and systems exposed to elevated temperatures.

High-performance grades

Enables powerful NdFeB grades with a balanced cost and material profile.

Process control
