[SMM Rare Earth Morning Meeting Summary] Rare earth market remains stable after the holiday; downstream just-in-time procurement awaits recovery in trading activity
[SMM Rare Earth Morning Meeting Summary: Rare Earth Market Stable After Holiday, Downstream Just-in-Time Procurement Awaits Trading Recovery] Ore end offers continued at pre-holiday levels, but downstream separation enterprises mostly restocked based on just-in-time needs with limited willingness to chase higher prices. On-site transactions were sparse, and ore prices remained in a stalemate overall.
High rare earth demand could complicate Europe's offshore wind ambitions
Wind turbines, devices that can convert energy from the wind into electricity, do not burn fuel during operation and could thus reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Despite their possible environmental advantages, building these devices depends heavily on the mines and factories supplying the metals they are made of.
Tesla Cyber Cab Motor: 18% Smaller and Rare Earth Free
Tesla’s latest electric motor for the Cyber Cab represents a notable shift in EV design by eliminating rare earth materials. The motor is 18% smaller and 25% lighter than similar models, relying on ferrite magnets instead of rare earth options like neodymium. While ferrite magnets are typically less effective, Tesla has addressed this through a hybrid system that combines permanent magnet torque with reluctance torque.
NdFeB Magnet Recycling 85% Recovery TU Clausthal
German researchers recover 85% of rare earths from discarded NdFeB magnets, offering Europe a potential domestic supply route without new mining.
