Ferrite (ceramic)
Ferrite magnets are also known as 'ceramic' because they are hard and brittle.
Most widely used magnetic material because of its low cost and high coercivity (doesn't lose magnetic power easily).
Use where:
- You need a 'general purpose' magnet
- Cost is a consideration
- Temperature is lower than 250°C
Typical applications:
- Magnetic separation
- DC motors
- Loudspeakers
- Reed switches
- Security systems
