Magnets

Contaminants in dip tanks can ruin an otherwise perfect finish. Dip tanks feature a specific concentration of chemicals. When contaminants are introduced, problems such as poor adhesion or surface imperfections can occur. Rather than allowing contaminants to go unchecked, you … Read More

When objects become magnetized, they will attract nearby ferromagnetic materials. Unfortunately, this can lead to metal filings and other metal debris clinging to magnetic tools and equipment. A simple solution, however, is to use a surface-type demagnetizer. It can neutralize … Read More

Lifting magnets are commonly used to lift and move heavy objects. Also known as magnetic lifters, they feature two high-powered magnets, such as neodymium magnets. When activated, the magnets’ poles become aligned, thereby creating a powerful magnetic field that can … Read More

Proper alignment is essential when welding joints. If a joint is slightly off, the entire piece will likely end up crooked and weak. Fortunately, magnetic welding squares can help you create aligned, high-quality joints when welding. What Are Magnetic Welding … Read More

If you regularly work with nails, bolts, nuts, washers or other fasteners, you may want to invest in a magnetic small parts holder. This otherwise simple accessory can help prevent lost or misplaced fasteners. This means less time spent hunting … Read More

When shopping for magnets, you may come across arc magnets. Also known as arc segment magnets, they are characterized by a curved shape. Arc magnets still feature two poles, a north pole and a south pole, and they are attracted … Read More

When using a magnet around heat, you should be aware of its Curie temperature. Magnets are susceptible to heat-related demagnetization. Whether it’s a ceramic or rare-earth magnet, exposure to excessively hot temperatures may cause it to lose its magnetic properties. … Read More
