Working with Neodymium Magnets

Yes, magnets can be engraved with a laser. Laser engraving is a process in which a laser beam is used to etch a design, such as a logo, onto the surface of a magnet. The laser beam is directed onto the surface of the magnet, and the heat from the laser causes the top layer of coating to vaporize, creating a precise and detailed design. Magnets can be made from a wide range of materials, including metals, ceramics, and composite materials. Some types of magnets, such as those made from ferrite or alnico, are more suitable for laser engraving than others due...

Self-adhesive magnets enable you to attach the magnet to a non-magnetic surface, such as aluminum, wood, plastic, ceramic, rubber, paper, and other non-ferrous materials. We have both block and disc shaped self adhesive magnets available.Normally, these magnets come in packs with half self-adhesive on the north side, and half with the self adhesive on the south side. This enables them to attract if needed to form a closure or fastener.  Our adhesive magnets are made with a foam based acrylic adhesive, which is also available separately as double-sided self-adhesive stickers. This high-performance adhesive delivers excellent shear strength to resist slippage and edge-lifting. Simply peel the paper off...

Steel discs (often called strike plates) offer added flexibility when working with magnets. They can be used in place of a magnet in some applications because they make an ideal target for other magnets to attract to and attach with. This can dramatically lower your production or project expenses as steel discs cost significantly less than magnets.Due to their ultra thin profile, these blank steel discs can be used to create a variety of magnetic catches, latches, packaging and box closure mechanisms – again, without the cost of an additional magnet. As a result, these discs are ideal for a...

Do you find yourself grappling with the concept of magnetic shielding? Pondering if it's feasible to have a magnet exert pull only from one side? Or perhaps you're in need of protecting a delicate device from magnetic interferences. In that case, this article will provide you with invaluable insights into the process of manipulating magnetic fields. To start, it's crucial to understand that fields cannot be blocked. There is nothing that can stop the continual passage of magnetic flux lines between the magnetic poles of a magnet. However, it is possible to redirect these lines. Materials for Magnetic Shielding The...

Direct soldering or welding to neodymium magnets is generally not advised since the high temperatures involved in these techniques may harm the magnets. Neodymium magnets are prone to corrosion and degeneration when exposed to high temperatures since they are made of an alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron. It is advised to utilize a low-temperature bonding technique, like an adhesive, or a mechanical connection technique, like screws or bolts, if you need to fasten something to a neodymium magnet.
