Magnets, as we know, are used in many applications worldwide. To optimize their use in specific instances, we need to understand the behavior of different magnetic materials when magnetized. For example, magnets used in transformer cores need to be able...
Magnets are everywhere, whether holding up grocery lists on the fridge, letting us listen to voices in our phones and headsets, or working tirelessly inside the machinery in our factories and power plants. But a very important, often overlooked factor in choosing the...
Early Encounters with a Mysterious Force Our story of magnetism begins not in a laboratory, but amongst rocks found in the natural world. The earliest documented interactions with magnets come from around 600 BC, with two ancient civilizations independently mentioning...
Did you know that the magnetic fields in our universe span over 30 orders of magnitude, from the human brain to distant neutron stars? In this blog post, we'll explore the incredible world of magnets and their impact on our...
There are three main types of neodymium magnets, all made from the neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) alloy but manufactured using different processes: sintered neodymium, bonded neodymium, and hot-pressed neodymium. Sintered neodymium magnets as the blocks, discs or ring shaped neodymium Magnets such as those...
The salt spray test, also referred to as the salt fog test or salt corrosion test, is a standardized testing method utilized to evaluate the corrosion resistance of metal coatings, including magnetic coatings, that have been applied to metal substrates....
There is still quite a bit of misconception in the community on what constitutes ideal conditions for lifting magnet clamping. Generally, when it comes to magnetic lifting of any nature, a minimum adherence to safety standards such ASME B30.20-2003 and minimum other...
Upon Heating When the temperature of an element increases, its atoms vibrate. In a magnetic element, the vibration of atoms weakens the alignment of the magnetic domains of which they are part. As the alignment of an object's magnetic domains...
In our more than a decade of experience in design and supply of magnetic lifting equipment for various types of steel material handling, we have continued and still continue to encounter a great deal of misconception amongst intending users of...
