Magnet Recycling Pays Off

Magnets are valuable components. Although functional magnet recycling methods have been developed in recent years, they have not yet been applied in practice and magnets continue to be melted down into steel scrap. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Materials Recycling and Resource
Strategies IWKS provide good arguments for why this should change in the future […]

Impermeable Stacking by Feintool Enables Integrated Cooling for Motors  

Whether the power source is battery or fuel cell, the efficiency and performance of motors are crucial in electromobility. Critical factors in their design and production include stability of the lamination stacks of electrical steel and their impermeability to cooling fluid. Feintool says that its glulock Multiple Dots bonding process promises tight and stable electric motors, even in the high-temperature range prevalent in today’s e-motors. Based in Switzerland, the company develops machinery and processes for both the production of motor laminations as well as fineblanking of bipolar plates for fuel cells.  […]
