42 Strange Things Salvaged with Powerful Magnets You are standing on the wooden pier by the lake, calm and serene. The wind ruffled your hair and you can't help but think, in this moment, you are completely healed. Just then, someone was standing by the muddy lake, dragging a huge set of rusted armor out [...]
Rare Earth and Non-Rare Earth Magnets The Differences Between Like in most subjects if you learn the terminology you have at least a consumer level knowledge that will get you to the types, shapes & strength magnets you are looking for. Rare Earth Magnets at MPCO Magnetics Ceramic (non Rare Earth) Magnets at MPCO Magnetics There [...]
Can Magnet Damage a Laptop? Some myths, such as whether a magnet can damage a laptop get passed around as truth and no one really knows why. Maybe we heard it as a child in school or as we got older within our business circles and industries. Let’s debunk this myth, as well as others [...]
Adhesive Backing Magnetic Discs The self-adhesive backing on the magnets means they can be fixed almost anywhere, in place under card flaps, on the back of signs or used in packaging. Also used with gift boxes, name badges and greetings cards that can stick to a refrigerator. If you haven't used magnetic closer discs before, [...]
Brief Introduction to Neodymium Magnet Materials The third generation of rare earth permanent magnet, Neodymium Iron Boron (Neodymium magnets), is the most powerful permanent magnet in modern magnets. Neodymium Magnet Materials The highest Remanence (Br) of Neodymium magnet1 is 3.8 times that of ferrite magnet, 1.1 times of that of Aluminum Nickel cobalt [...]
Fermilab achieves world-record field strength for accelerator magnet To build the next generation of powerful proton accelerators, scientists need the strongest magnets possible to steer particles close to the speed of light around a ring. For a given ring size, the higher the beam's energy, the stronger the accelerator's magnets need to be to keep [...]
Permanent Magnet Materials Permanent magnet lodestones contain magnetite, a hard, crystalline iron ferrite mineral that derives its magnetism from the effect the earth's magnetic field has on it. Various steel alloys can also be magnetized. The first big step in developing more effective permanent magnet materials came in the 1930s with the development of Alnico [...]
