DFARS

Arnold Magnetic Technologies is a major producer of both Samarium Cobalt permanent magnets under its brand name Recoma^© and Alnico (in both cast and sintered forms). Both materials from Arnold meet the current Berry Amendment or DFARS requirements per clauses 252.225.7014 further described under 10 U.S.C. 2533b. This provision covers the protection of strategic materials critical to national security. These magnet types are considered "specialty metals" under these regulations.

For additional information on this subject please see Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and Procedures, Guidance, and Information (PGI). The specific regulation for Specialty Metals is 225.7003.

We would like to point out that DFARS regulations are separate and different from ITAR regulations but that, in general, material covered by DFARS would be allowable under ITAR.

Arnold manufactures and supplies these DFARS compliant materials.

Alnico in grades 2, 3, 4, 5, 5cc, 6, 800, 800 Hi Hc, 8B, 8HE, 8H and 9
Samarium Cobalt in both 1:5 and 2:17 including both temperature stable and high temperature grades.

It is common practice for Arnold to supply magnets to tighter tolerance for precision applications by employing various stabilization methods. For inquiries realted to either material, please contact us at infoNA@arnoldmagnetics.com.
