The Magellan project:
The MAGELLAN project will create, for the first time in Europe, a direct collaboration between materials scientists, designers, manufacturers, recyclers and end users, to design and demonstrate at TRL7 (Technology Readiness Level), a disruptive, sustainable and cost-effective rare earth element (REE) permanent magnet (PM) value chain solution for high volume electric vehicle traction motors (EVTM), including:
- Technology and demonstration at TRL7 of an integrated highly advanced recycling and manufacturing process for improved resource efficiency of small loop recycling based on alloy-to-magnet, neodymium substitution and functionally patterned permanent magnet (PM) fabrication via powder injection molding
- Development of a new high-volume electric vehicle traction motor rotor design EVTM that benefits from an advanced patterned permanent magnet (PM) to improve assembly, improve motor performance and facilitate end-of-life motor disassembly resulting in improved economic efficiency and reduced loss of materials during recycling.
- Optimizing magnet recovery and recycling to avoid undercycling by minimizing dispersion and dilution of heavy rare earth elements (REE). Implementation of characterization and decision-making protocols for the orientation of recovered magnets to the most appropriate recycling route. Support standard magnet marking.
The MAGELLAN project will demonstrate the TRL of high-recycling permanent magnet (PM) prototypes in a high-volume EVTM electric vehicle traction motor in a representative operating environment.
Sustainability and business benefits will be demonstrated through life cycle analysis.
