Early Registration Deadline this Thursday

OEM and Team Discounts Also Available

Both the producers and users of magnets have experienced several years of uncertainty in material supplies, wide price swings, and development of incremental improvements in magnetic properties. Magnetics 2017 is an opportunity to learn the latest outlook for pricing and economics from technical experts. Attend the conference to learn the latest developments in how magnets are being applied, and magnetic effects utilized, to help optimize system and product performance in diverse applications.

The pre-conference workshops provide an in-depth education experience, providing valuable information for both the new and seasoned engineer.

A full conference pass grants complete access to Motor & Drive Systems 2017.

Workshops

Magnetics Boothcamps I & II
Presented by Dr. Stan Trout . Spontaneous Materials

The Bootcamp Workshops focus on the basics of Magnetics. If you need to understand magnets better for your job, want to get more from the conference presentations or are new to the field, then Basic - Bootcamp I is the right place to start. The Bootcamp I workshop will cover the fundamental magnetic concepts such as hysteresis, what is magnetism, units, basic processing, magnetizing and thermal effects. If something more advanced is what you are looking for, attend Bootcamp II. Assumes someone has either taken a previous Bootcamp, (Bootcamp I), or has some basic technical understanding of magnetics. After a brief review of the basics, including self-demagnetization and loadlines, we will discuss raw materials and their pricing, advanced processing techniques, manufacturability, design basics, new design case studies and what's new on the horizon.

Working with the Rare Earth Permanent Magnet Supply Situation
Presented by Steve Constantinides, Director of Technology, Arnold Magnetic Technologies

The objective of the course is to provide engineers, purchasing personnel and management with an understanding of the costs and risks associated with rare earth permanent magnets and strategies to minimize cost while mitigating risks. The course starts with material options, compositions and their effect on cost but quickly moves to a discussion of the global shifts in supply and usage of rare earth magnets and forecasts of pricing and supply especially in light of competing uses for the rare earth elements.
