Rare-earth powders, alloy samples, engineering ceramics and an electric-motor component in a modern materials laboratory

Materials

Critical materials for industry, technology and research.

LINKX Industrial Solutions supplies rare earths and advanced industrial materials according to each customer’s technical, commercial and delivery requirements.

We support universities, research organisations and industrial customers across Australia and the United Kingdom, coordinating international sourcing through one LINKX-managed process.

Materials Portfolio

Specified for the way you intend to use them.

Material selection begins with the application—not a catalogue number. LINKX helps customers define chemical composition, form, purity, particle requirements, quantity, packaging, documentation and destination before confirming a suitable supply route.

Zirconia ceramic forms, mineral samples and titanium-toned engineering materials

Permanent Magnet Materials

Cast and sintered Alnico magnets.

Alnico is an aluminium-nickel-cobalt permanent-magnet alloy valued for stable magnetic performance at elevated temperatures. LINKX coordinates cast and sintered forms around the required grade, geometry, tolerance, magnetic orientation and operating environment.

Cast and sintered production routes support different combinations of size, shape, surface finish and mechanical strength. Final selection is confirmed against the application rather than a generic catalogue grade.

01

Cast Alnico

Suited to larger or more complex shapes and a broad range of magnetic grades. As-cast surfaces are comparatively rough and critical faces may require grinding or machining.

02

Sintered Alnico

Often selected for smaller, repeatable components where dimensional consistency, surface finish and mechanical robustness are priorities.

Material Forms

Supply shaped around your process.

The appropriate form depends on how the material will be processed, tested or incorporated into the final application.

01

Oxides & powders

Specified by composition, purity, particle size or distribution, moisture limits and packaging requirements.

02

Metals

Pieces, ingots, granules or other project-specific forms, subject to element, grade and handling requirements.

03

Alloys

Defined by target composition, production purpose, physical form, tolerances and intended downstream process.

04

Mineral products

Concentrates, sands, milled products or processed mineral forms reviewed against the intended industrial use.

05

Ceramics

Powders, tubes, rings, crucibles, sleeves and other technical forms for research and thermal applications.

06

Custom requirements

Application-led sourcing for specialist grades, sample quantities, configured packs or manufactured components.

Specification Review

What we need to assess your enquiry.

A clear specification helps us evaluate technical suitability, availability, documentation and delivery. If the specification is still developing, LINKX can structure the initial requirement with your technical team.

Material identityElement, compound, mineral, alloy or ceramic type
Chemical formOxide, metal, alloy, concentrate, powder or component
Grade & purityTarget composition, minimum purity and impurity limits
Physical requirementsParticle size, dimensions, density or other relevant properties
Quantity & scheduleSample or commercial quantity and required delivery date
Application & destinationEnd use, customer type, delivery country and site requirements
