Challenges in Recycling End-of-Life Rare Earth Magnets

TMS has forged cooperative agreements with several carefully selected organizations that actively work to benefit the materials science community. In this occasional series, JOM will provide an update on the activities of these organizations. This installment, by the Center for Resource Recovery & Recycling (CR3), focuses on recycling end-of-life rare earth magnets. The CR3 is a research center established by Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Colorado School of Mines, and K. U. Leuven. Twenty-eight corporations and national laboratories along with support from the U. S. National Science Foundation's I/UCRC program are sponsors of the center.
