High Strength Permanent Magnets Through Supersonic Laser Deposition

对利用电动机动力的电气系统的需求日益增长。应用范围从电机到电动汽车；吹风机等家用产品；真空吸尘器;天然气压缩机;热泵;到无人机和电动飞机。所有这些应用都非常依赖磁铁。可供电机设计师选择的选项很少；磁性强而机械弱的磁铁；或者是磁性弱但机械强度适中的磁铁。我们的愿景是实现一种新的磁铁结构，可以提供跨越当前性能鸿沟的磁性产品，生产具有强大磁性和机械性能的磁铁。为了实现这一目标，LFT将开发新的材料加工技术和巩固技术，使高性能磁体在固态下得到巩固。

There is a growing demand for electrical systems that utilise the power of an electric motor. Applications range from motors in: electrical automobiles; household products such as hairdryers; vacuum cleaners; gas compressors; heat-pumps; to flying drones and electric aircraft. All of these applications have a critical dependence on a magnet. There are few options available to motor designers; magnets that are magnetically strong and mechanically weak; or magnets that are magnetically weak with moderate mechanical strength. Our vision is to realise a new magnet architecture which can deliver magnetic products that straddle the current performance divide, producing magnets which have strong magnetic and mechanical performance. To achieve this, LFT will develop new materials processing technologies and consolidation techniques to enable high performance magnets to be consolidated in the solid state.
