Rare Earth Magnets

Rare earth magnets, which are made from alloys, have an intense magnetic field and are very strong.  They are one of the strongest magnets available for the past forty years, since they were first developed.  They are available in a variety of versions (different types of alloys and materials).  These different types can be easily researched on the internet to determine which would be the best match for the project or need.  However, because some of the types are made of brittle materials and are likely to corrode, they need to be treated with some sort of coating. This ensures the life of the magnet, increasing its durability.

The thicker the rare earth magnet, the stronger the pull will be.  The more weight the magnet will need to be able to hold, the thicker the diameter will need to be when considering a purchase.  For example, if the magnet is needed in an auto shop to hold the weight of an engine, it would need to be quite a bit thicker than if it was needed to hang a picture frame on a refrigerator.  These magnets come in a variety of sizes, thickness, and shapes for various needs.  Many people have experienced regular magnets and find themselves surprised at how strong rare earth magnets really are.





They are most effective when placed between two pieces of steel.  For example, placing a rare earth magnet on a metal surface can provide a convenient place for tools or utensils to be placed for easy retrieval in both the home and the workplace.   They have uses from the kitchen to the auto shop to a kindergarten classroom.  These magnets can be used in arts and crafts or for practical projects around the home.  They can be quickly and easily affixed to most materials with glue or other adhesives to create simple and fun refrigerator magnets, hangers for keys or jewelry, or a clasp on a purse.  They can be attached to nearly any small item to create a refrigerator magnet as a gift.  By hanging a metal sheet or strips securely to a wall, tools of all sorts can be hung securely with magnets placed on the metal.  This can help keep work spaces organized and tools in easy reach.  It can also help keep small items from becoming lost or spilled out of containers.  The process is simple and takes a short amount of time to complete.

Rare earth magnets are very small, but very strong.  They have as many uses as can be imagined.  Their strength often times can be surprising when compared to other more traditional magnets.  No matter what the project or need, rare earth magnets are a good match.
