By the substitution of ferrite to NdFeB materials, the process of seizing material dust in micro grinding process will be faster. Magnetic, chemical, corrosion, mechanical and magnetisation properties of the different materials are described and compared to enable the replacement. The concept design of magnetic steel attachment is to build a close steel attachment that can be adhered to pressure vessel so that the material dust will not be plunged out to the environment work. The sample of bonded NdFeB magnet is prepared by mixing die NdFeB powder with 5% of epoxy binder, NdFeB magnet also undergoes Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (X-RD) test for further analysis. The final test would be the micro grinding process is operated with NdFeB bonded magnet placed at the base of the steel attachment.
