CX-035808: Pre-Pilot Production of High-Performance Magnets Based on the Cost-Effective Mountain Pass Mischmetal with Reduced Critical Materials Content

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to The University of Texas at Arlington (UT) to design, develop, and fabricate Neodymium-Iron-Boron (R-Fe-B) mixed rare earth magnets prototypes. The proposed award activities would include data analysis, design, testing, techno-economic analysis (TEA), and laboratory research. UT (Arlington, TX) and Ames National Laboratory (Ames, IA) would carry out design and development of alloys and compounds. MP Materials LLC (Fort Worth, TX) would fabricate alloys and compounds.
