From Siemens TWO years ago:

'And the dysprosium?
"It turns out you can tweak the way you deal with your alloy so you need less. In today's magnets we have 0.7% dysprosium, and in a few years it will be all gone."'



From Jan 16:

"Drastic reduction of the amount of HRE needed to produce permanent magnets was fully achieved in the scope of objective (1), thanks to the invention of a new and innovative method to promote selective formation of a dysprosium-rich phase in the shell of the hard magnetic grains, with no loss in magnetization within the core of the hard magnetic phase. Current technologies use about 10-11 wt% of Dy, whereas with the new technique, only 0.6 wt% Dy is effective. This reduction by a factor of 16 represents a dramatic decrease in cost of the manufactured magnets, which can be estimated to roughly 40% based on the raw material costs in 2015. Furthermore, the new method is cost-effective, eco-efficient and can be easily implemented in industrial production. It was already tested in realistic industrial conditions to set-up a prototype motor for an electric vehicle and a windmill, respectively. Two patents were filed and more than ten papers were published. Many invitations were sent to the scientific coordinator to present those results at international conferences."

I could spend all day C&P these references from Govt research, NdFeB manufacturers ROW + China, & Global 1000 companies, many I've posted previously, but what's the point, NTU sycophants firmly stuck in Dysy 1.01.

Reality will dawn eventually.
