How Dura Magnetics’ APQP Process Ensures Quality for the Aerospace Industry

As part of our commitment to providing high quality technical products to our customers, Dura Magnetics has established a formal product realization process base on the Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) process. An established product realization process is a requirement for AS9100D certification for production of aerospace products and components. Although product realization is only…

Why You Should Use a Magnet Plating or Coating for Your Application

In previous blogs, we have shared how to choose a magnet material and how to choose a magnet grade. The next step is determining whether to apply a coating to your magnet. Some applications require a conformal coating or metallic plating on the magnet for trouble-free operation. A coating or plating offers protection along with…

Case Study: MAGNETNotes

“I can’t say enough good things about their knowledge and willingness to be innovative,” said Boudouris, CEO of MAGNETNotes and MagneClose; and he knows innovative. Boudouris has developed a revolutionary process that can essentially print magnets onto paper and packaging. But this development would not be possible without Dura, he said.
