In April 2025, EPoS Technologies SA introduced TiMM4H, the first commercially available and fully industrialized metal-bonded magnet grade, a hybrid composite consisting of equal parts NdFeB and titanium. The novel composite was developed and produced through the proprietary Electro-Sinter-Forging (ESF) process, conceived and industrialized by EPoS. Three additional titanium-bonded variants and several composites with different metal matrices have been engineered.

The influence of composition on magnetic performance, tensile strength, impact resistance and other physical properties has been systematically investigated. Potential applications of these novel magnets are evaluated in encoders, sensors and high speed electric motors, as well as their performance under hydrogen-rich environments, in collaboration with leading research institutions and industrial partners.

This work presents the key findings so far, highlighting the promise of metal bonding as a powerful method for advancing magnet technology.
