Pitt partners with Powdermet to develop rare-earth-free electric motor with MnBi permanent magnets

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) Swanson School of Engineering are working with Powdermet Inc., a nanomaterials and advanced materials research and development company in Ohio, to develop a rare-earth-mineral-free electric motor. Most electric motors for electric vehicles rely on permanent magnets made with rare-earth metals, which are a.

New semiconductor device materials and advanced magnetic materials can enable an unprecedented combination of voltage levels and power handling capabilities. However, the latest class of new switching devices, which use so-called ultra-wide bandgap (UWBG) semiconductor materials, will also require improved soft magnetic materials and manufacturing approaches not currently available.
