Magnets should not be drilled as they are brittle and are likely to break during the drilling process.
The process for manufacturing ferrite magnets, also known as ceramic magnets, is not as costly or sophisticated as producing rare-earth neodymium magnets. The chemical compound of ferrite magnets is SrO-6 (Fe2O3), a combination of strontium carbonate and iron oxide. Due to their chemical make-up it means they are extremely resistant to demagnetisation through heat and corrosion, although, like neodymium magnets they are very hard and brittle. Step 1 – Calcination The production of ferrite magnets begins with calcining a finely powdered mixture of iron oxide and strontium carbonate to produce... Read More
