Explore Our Neodymium Capabilities
- Neodymium is the strongest available magnet alloy at up to 55MGOe.
- The use of Neodymium results in smaller, more cost-effective magnet solutions, replacing older materials like Alnico and Ceramic in many applications.
- Dura can help optimize performance and cost with Neo magnets in grades from 33 to 55MGOe and operating temperatures up to 230°C/446°F.
- Stock Neodymium magnets also available.
Available Grades of Neo Magnets
Many grades of Neodymium exist to support a variety of industrial and commercial applications. The range of Neo grades is typically 33 to 55 MGOe. These ranges allow for balancing cost, magnetic performance, and operational temperature resistance.
Corrosion Resistance
Neodymium magnets have poor resistance to corrosion and they can also corrode from the inside out if proper pre-treatment processes are not followed. Often, a multi-layer Nickel-Copper-Nickel plating is applied, but this may not be sufficient for all applications.
Temperature Effects
Neodymium magnets are very susceptible to elevated operating temperatures and the application requirements should be considered before selecting a particular grade of Neo.

DFARS & ITAR Compliance
Limited availability of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) compliant material can make small magnet production runs costly. However, we stock various grades at our U.S. facility, enabling us to provide cost-effective, DFARS-compliant magnets for all customers if needed, regardless of project size or requirements.
We are also registered and compliant with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). This qualifies us to work with items listed on the United States Munitions List (USML). We are also ITAR registered with the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC).
