A permanent magnet is that a magnet that is permanent, in contrast to an electromagnet, which only behaves like a magnet when an electric current is flowing through it.
Permanent magnets are made out of substances like magnetite (Fe3O4),
the most magnetic naturally occurring mineral or neodymium, Samarium cobalt, a powerfully magnetic synthetic substance.
Neodymium magnets for science, innovation, engineering, and industry. We specialize in providing strong high-quality neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets. Our neodymium magnets are made with the world's most advanced magnetic materials. We only sell new rare earth magnets produced under license to the highest standards.
Rare earth magnets are the strongest type of permanent magnet currently made. They are amazingly powerful for their size and have innumerable uses.They are composed of neodymium iron boron magnetic material and are plated in nickel-copper-nickel for a shiny corrosion resistant finish. Maximum working temperature is 176 F (80 C).
Every magnet has a triple coating of nickel, copper and nickel again to prevent against corrosion. Our Neodymium magnets are commonly used in creative applications such as model making, theatre design, furniture making, exhibition displays and packaging. They also have many uses in engineering and manufacturing where small size and maximum strength are required. What's more, because of their resistance to demagnetisation they are ideal for creating a shock-absorbing or damping effect when used to repel other magnets.
