Niron Magnetics

Niron Magnetics is a U.S. advanced-manufacturing company commercializing high-performance permanent magnets made from Iron Nitride rather than rare-earth elements. Spun out of University of Minnesota and U.S. Department of Energy ARPA-E research and founded in 2013, the company holds 150+ patents around its Clean Earth Magnet technology and is building the first full-scale Iron Nitride magnet plant in Sartell, Minnesota, alongside its Minneapolis headquarters and a Washington, D.C. policy office. Its magnets target electric-motor, automotive, consumer-audio, industrial and defense applications, with announced collaborations including Stellantis, Moog, Aspina, FaitalPRO, MATTER and Bimotal. Niron Magnetics is a materials and hardware manufacturer: it publishes no developer program, no public API, and no machine-readable API contract.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Energy & Utilities regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/.

  detail: Niron Magnetics manufactures Iron Nitride permanent magnets; its entire web presence is a WordPress marketing site
    whose only machine-readable endpoint is the stock WordPress /wp-json/ core route (oembed, jetpack, rankmath, HubSpot leadin)
    — there is no product API, no developer subdomain (api./developer./docs. all fail to resolve), and no published contract.
