Soft vs Hard Magnetic Materials

Magnetic materials, in the company's background text, produce a magnetic field and exert attraction or repulsion on ferromagnetic materials and other magnets, and they divide into soft magnetic materials and hard magnetic materials. This guide repeats that background distinction and nothing more. It is not a product page, it lists no product model and no parameter, and it must not be used to order a soft magnetic product, because no soft magnetic product model was verified for sale.

Why the distinction is kept separate from products

The company's site title contains a soft-and-hard magnetic material phrase, but its published product pages are dominated by sintered neodymium, which is a hard magnetic material. A title phrase is not a product range, and this site does not upgrade it into one. The sintered neodymium range — six shapes, a custom route and an assemblies category list — is the product structure, and the soft-versus-hard distinction sits beside it as background. A buyer who needs a soft magnetic material should state that explicitly in an inquiry and ask what can be supplied, rather than assuming a product exists because a background guide mentions the category.
