When most people think of magnets, they envision traditional square- or rectangular-shaped permanent magnets. Magnets, however, are available in a wide range of shapes, including ring. Ring magnets produce a magnetic field that allows them to attract ferromagnetic materials, but … Read More

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
