A CRMA component term for a magnet that retains magnetism after it is removed from an external magnetic field.
Permanent magnet is the CRMA component term for magnets that retain their magnetism without an external magnetic field. It matters because permanent magnets connect strategic technologies to critical raw material demand, but the magnet is not the same as a critical raw material, a raw-material list entry, or proof of recycled content.
This page is anchored in CRMA Article 2, point 53. It should be read with strategic technologies, magnet coating, and removal, especially where products or waste streams may contain recoverable magnet materials.

Use permanent magnet when a product, equipment, or recovery record needs to identify magnet-containing components in CRMA-relevant technology contexts. Keep it separate from the raw materials inside the magnet, the coating around it, and the removal or recycling process used later.
Permanent magnets are where a strategic-technology page can become concrete. Minespider treats the magnet as a component evidence point: it can link product design, end-use equipment, material demand, and recovery records without turning the component itself into a raw-material classification or compliance claim.
