Attributes of Ceramic Material
Least expensive material compared to alnico and rare earth magnets
High intrinsic coercive force
Available in simple shapes only due to manufacturing process
Lower service temperature than alnico, greater than rare earth
Finishing requires diamond cutting or grinding wheel
Lower energy product than alnico and rare earth magnets
Most common grades of ceramic are 1, 5 and 8 (1-8 possible)
Grade 8 is the strongest ceramic material available
Tooling can be expensive
