Product Description
Application of Everlube coating
Everlube coated neodymium magnets are ideally suited for applications in the automotive sector, especially for electric vehicles , aerospace, and electronics.
EVERLUBE coating has excellent salt spray resistance and excellent adhesion, The Everlube coating was originally developed as a brand of dry film lubricant products specifically designed to enhance and improve the performance of critical components and meet a wide variety of industry, defence, and customer specifications for critical components. Manufactured by Curtiss Wright, the coatings are widely used by companies including Boeing, Airbus and NASA.
What is Everlube coating ?
As a thermosetting coating, Everlube coating is mainly composed of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2), and phenolic resin adhesive.
Some permanent magnets, including neodymium, react negatively to exposure to water or humid conditions. In neodymium magnets, the neodymium-rich layers at the grain boundaries react to form neodymium hydroxide. The effect of this conversion from Nd to Nd(OH)3 is a large volume increase along the grain boundaries, leading to cracking and degradation of magnet properties. The speed of this is enhanced when salt is present. The Everlube coating prevents such degradation.
