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…
