What are Soft Magnetics?

When we added Soft Magnetics to our magnetic products portfolio, one of the most common questions we were then asked was ‘What are soft magnetics?’  Simply, soft magnetic materials are those that can be easily magnetised and demagnetised and their primary use is to enhance and/or channel the flux produced by an electric current. Soft…

Coatings for Neodymium Magnets

Coatings for Neodymium Magnets

Nearly every neodymium magnet will be plated or coated and, as the most powerful permanent magnet available, they are used in many different applications. However, they possess physical characteristics that require them to be plated or coated in order to protect them from damage. In their raw form, neodymium magnets are quite brittle, and as…
