Explore Our Samarium Cobalt (SmCo) Capabilities
- Samarium Cobalt rare earth magnets are often used in high temperature applications needing high magnetic performance and where magnetic stability over a wide range of temperatures is important.
- Dura can help optimize performance and cost with SmCo magnets in grades from 16 to 35 MGOe (1:5 and 2:17) and temperatures up to 350°C/662°F.
- Stock Samarium Cobalt magnets also available to reduce development and production lead times.
Available Grades of Samarium Cobalt Magnets
Many grades of Samarium Cobalt exist to support a variety of industrial and commercial applications. The range of Samarium Cobalt Magnet grades is typically 16 to 32 MGOe. These ranges allow for balancing cost, magnetic performance, and operational temperature resistance.

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).
