--- Why Choose Refurbished Neodymium Magnets? ---
• Cost-Effective Solutions for Various Industries:
In an era where sustainability and cost efficiency are paramount, refurbished neodymium magnets have emerged as a smart, eco-friendly alternative without compromising performance. At IT-MAG, we specialize in the precision refurbishment of used or surplus neodymium magnets—reclaiming materials from industrial scrap, end-of-life devices, and returned components—while restoring them to original-grade specifications. This process not only reduces raw material dependency but also significantly lowers production costs, allowing us to offer highly competitive pricing without sacrificing quality. For industries such as electric vehicles (EVs), renewable energy systems, and industrial automation, this translates into substantial savings on critical magnetic components. A real-world example comes from our collaboration with a Tier-1 EV motor manufacturer in Germany, where we supplied over 15 tons of refurbished N48H-grade magnets for use in high-efficiency traction motors. The client reported a 22% reduction in magnet-related procurement costs while maintaining identical performance metrics compared to virgin-grade magnets. Furthermore, our proprietary Grain Boundary Diffusion (GBD) technology enables us to enhance the coercivity of refurbished magnets, ensuring they perform reliably even under extreme thermal and mechanical stress. With a factory area of 20,000㎡ and an annual output capacity of 3,000 tons, IT-MAG’s scalable refurbishment process supports large-scale industrial demands. By choosing our refurbished magnets, clients benefit from reduced environmental impact, lower carbon footprint, and access to premium magnetic solutions at a fraction of the cost—proving that sustainability and performance can go hand in hand. Strong magnets for strong products.
--- IT-MAG's Commitment to Quality ---
• Rigorous Quality Control Processes:
At IT-MAG, quality isn’t just a promise—it’s a process embedded in every stage of production and refurbishment. Our comprehensive quality control system is backed by ISO9001, ISO14001, TS16949, and CNAS certifications, ensuring compliance with international standards across all operations. Every refurbished magnet undergoes a multi-stage inspection protocol, starting with non-destructive testing using X-ray fluorescence spectrometers and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry to verify elemental composition and detect impurities. Magnetic force testing is conducted using high-frequency infrared carbon and sulfur analyzers and Hall probe systems to ensure remanence, coercivity, and energy product meet specified grades. For instance, in our recent refurbishment project for a medical imaging equipment supplier, we subjected 1,200 units of previously used N52H magnets to full magnetic property validation—resulting in a 99.8% pass rate after re-coating and re-magnetization. Environmental durability tests—including salt spray (SST ≥ 72 hrs), humidity exposure (PCT ≥ 96 hrs), and high/low temperature cycling (from -40°C to 180°C)—were performed to confirm long-term stability. Our state-of-the-art lab, equipped with vacuum sintering furnaces, automatic forming presses, and continuous sintering lines, allows precise control over microstructure and grain alignment during reprocessing. Additionally, each batch is traceable through our digital quality management system, with detailed records maintained from raw material sourcing to final delivery. With 130 employees and a dedicated R&D team focused on innovation, IT-MAG ensures that every refurbished magnet meets or exceeds original specifications. From automotive sensors to industrial tools, our commitment to ‘Strong magnets for strong products’ remains unwavering—proving that reliability and value are not mutually exclusive.
--- Applications of Refurbished Neodymium Magnets ---
• Innovative Uses in Medical Devices:
One of the most compelling applications of refurbished neodymium magnets lies in the medical device industry, where precision, reliability, and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable. IT-MAG has successfully partnered with a global medical equipment manufacturer specializing in MRI-compatible surgical robots and diagnostic imaging systems. In this project, we were tasked with refurbishing over 800 high-grade NdFeB magnets (N50H and N52H) recovered from decommissioned robotic arms used in minimally invasive surgeries. These magnets were initially sourced from a failed batch due to minor surface defects during initial manufacturing. Instead of discarding them, IT-MAG implemented our advanced refurbishment process: first, removing residual oils and scale via ultrasonic cleaning; then applying a controlled layer of Dy/Tb via GBD technology to enhance intrinsic coercivity; followed by vacuum sintering at 800–1000℃ to diffuse heavy rare earth elements uniformly across grain boundaries. After re-coating with Ni-Cu-Ni-Au (for superior corrosion resistance and biocompatibility), the magnets underwent final magnetization and rigorous functional testing. The result? All refurbished magnets passed FDA-compliant biostability and electromagnetic interference (EMI) tests, achieving a 100% success rate in clinical simulation trials. The client reported no degradation in performance, even after 1,500 hours of continuous operation under sterilization cycles. This case exemplifies how IT-MAG’s innovative approach transforms what would otherwise be waste into mission-critical components for life-saving technologies. Beyond cost savings, this initiative reduced the client’s carbon footprint by over 40%, aligning with green healthcare goals. As part of our broader vision, IT-MAG continues to expand its medical-grade refurbishment portfolio, supporting advancements in wearable diagnostics, implantable devices, and robotic-assisted surgery—all powered by magnets that are not only strong but also sustainable. Strong magnets for strong products, especially when it comes to human health and well-being.
