Winner of this year’s IRI Scientific Advancement Award, Niron Magnetics is redefining what is possible in permanent magnet technology by translating decades of materials science research into a scalable, rare-earth-free manufacturing process. In this webinar, Frank Johnson, CTO of Niron Magnetics, will discuss how the company’s Iron Nitride magnets combine high magnetic strength, thermal stability and broad design flexibility using two abundant elements: iron and nitrogen. The conversation will explore the R&D journey behind the breakthrough, from stabilizing Iron Nitride nanoparticles to proving a mine-to-magnet process that can support domestic production at commercial scale. Participants will learn how this scientific advancement could reduce supply chain risk, open new possibilities for next-generation motor and system design and strengthen U.S. manufacturing resilience.
