All About Magnetisation Directions What is Magnetisation Direction? The magnetisation direction refers to the direction of the magnetic flux between the north and south poles of a magnet. This determines the magnetic field lines between the poles of a magnet. It may be difficult to visualise the magnetisation direction, so referring to a magnetic field [...]
Coercivity by Magnet Type Introduction to Magnetic Coercivity Coercivity (coercive force), determines how well a magnet can resist external forces that would cause it to lose its magnetic properties. The forces that can demagnetise, or degauss a permanent magnet include; temperature, alternating currents and kinetic force. High coercivity is necessary for magnets that will be [...]
Which Coatings Magnets are Available? There are many types of coatings available and each one has their own unique properties and uses for different applications. Nickel (Ni-Cu-Ni) Epoxy Teflon (PTFE) Zinc (Zn) Black Nickel (Ni) Titanium Nitrate (TiN) Gold (Au) Copper (Cu) Which Coatings Magnets are Available Nickel-Copper-Nickel (Ni-Cu-Ni) Coated Magnets Ni-Cu-Ni is [...]
What Shape and Size Magnets are Available? Available Magnet Shapes Permanent magnets come in a huge variety of shapes and each has its own unique benefits. The geometry of a rare earth magnet determines how the magnetic field lines are arranged from the north pole to the south pole, so the shape of the magnet [...]
Is Steel Magnetic? Ever held a magnet up to different metal objects and wondered why it sticks to some but not others? Most steel IS magnetic because it contains iron—but not all steel behaves the same way around magnets. Some types like austenitic stainless steel (304, 316) won’t attract magnets at all, while carbon steel [...]
Can Copper Be Magnetised Pure copper cannot be permanently magnetized because it is a diamagnetic material with paired electrons that repel magnetic fields. Copper is different from iron or nickel because it doesn’t have the atomic structure needed for ferromagnetism or permanent magnetism. Let me clear something up right away. If you’re picturing a copper [...]
