A form of rare earth magnets, samarium cobalt (SmCo) magnets are made of an alloy of cobalt and samarium. These magnets exhibit optimal thermal stability, high corrosion resistance and high magnetic strength as compared to neodymium (NdFeB) magnets. In addition to this, samarium cobalt magnets require proper handling owing to their brittle nature and need to be stored in atmosphere with mild temperatures as they are highly susceptible to cracking. A new research report by IMARC Group, titled “Samarium Cobalt Magnets Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Forecast and Opportunity 2018-2023”, estimates that the market reached a value of US$ 462 Million in 2017.
