Our domestically manufactured iron nitride magnets are transforming the permanent magnet industry. We are proud to share our story of using innovation to provide an alternative solution to the environmental and supply chain challenges we’re facing today. Check out this spotlight of our recent Advancements segment featuring industry experts and our rare-earth-free magnets!
🎥 SPOTLIGHT CLIP: Permanent 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐬 are used in nearly every sector across the globe. 🌎 They play a crucial role in the creation of clean energy technologies, industrial equipment, and consumer electronics. 🖥️ 📱 Rare earth materials that are mined for permanent magnets, however, are environmentally destructive to extract and process, leading to ecological damage and resource depletion. 🪨 There’s also the issue of skyrocketing demand for permanent magnet #technology, which cannot be met by neodymium magnets alone. Now, advances in 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 are transforming magnet production, providing a supply chain for powerful rare earth-free permanent magnets that can supplement neodymium to meet increased demand. 𝘼𝙙𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 is spotlighting Minnesota-based Niron Magnetics, Inc., whose iron nitride magnets, made of readily available iron and nitrogen raw materials, provide a cost-effective 💲 💲 and sustainable alternative to rare earth magnets. The company's tech is the first to produce 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, aiming to address environmental and national security concerns tied to a supply chain dominated by China. Niron Magnetics opened a commercial pilot plant in Minneapolis to mass-produce these magnets. “𝙒𝙚’𝙧𝙚 𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙣𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙣𝙚𝙩𝙨.

At the upcoming #CES2025, in addition to the world’s first electric guitar powered by our Clean Earth Magnet® technology, we will also be showcasing the world’s first electric coolant pump made with iron nitride magnets! We took an off-the-shelf pump and replaced the rare-earth magnets with our iron nitride magnets. This specific pump is used in many automotive applications, including heating and cooling of electronics in electric, hybrid, and ICE vehicles or battery cells in electric vehicles. We are looking forward to sharing all of this and more with you at CES!

We are looking forward to CES in a few weeks! Here’s a sneak peek at the world’s first electric guitar powered by our Clean Earth Magnet® technology! The magnets in these pickups, made without rare earth elements, deliver exceptional sound quality while supporting our mission to revolutionize industries like electronics, automotive, and beyond with sustainable, domestically produced technology. A huge thank you to Derry O'Byrne for the custom guitar body and Vig Guitars for the hand-wound Clean Earth Magnet pickups. We can’t wait to share it all with you at #CES2025! Be sure to stop by our booth at ARPA-E (LVCC North Hall #8953) to see our guitar in person!

Niron Magnetics, Inc. reposted this
Tune in this Saturday see how SCALEUP awardee Niron Magnetics, Inc. is reducing our reliance on imports and strengthening national security with their rare-earth free magnets.
Niron will be featured in Saturday's segment of Advancements, hosted by Ted Danson! This exciting episode will focus on advances in green technology and electrification, highlighting how the growing demand for magnets has created a need for alternatives to the unsustainable rare-earth magnets used today. In this segment, Niron and industry experts will explain how Clean Earth Magnet® technology is addressing the challenges of magnet production head-on, from right here in the U.S. By eliminating the need for rare-earth materials, our magnets offer a sustainable solution to a global problem. Made from abundant, sustainable raw materials like iron and nitrogen, our magnets reduce the environmental destruction caused by rare-earth mining, cut dependence on Chinese rare-earth elements, and strengthen national security. This isn’t just a step forward — it’s a leap toward a cleaner, more secure future for us all. We are excited to be featured in the newest Advancements episode, so tune in with us on Saturday, December 7th at 8 pm ET on Bloomberg TV or later on Amazon Prime Video.
