Neodymium magnets are hard making them prone to breaking and chipping which is why the last step before the material is re-magnetised during manufacturing is vital. To protect our neodymium magnets from corrosion, chipping, and breaking we coat them with a nickel-coat-nickel mixture.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This coating is applied as a layer of protection but can crack or chip due to collisions or strong pressure and extremely heavy blows can even break magnets. This is because the material neodymium-iron-boron is very magnetic but also very brittle, as it is sintered from metal powders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why handling magnets carefully is very important and why we send a safety manual with every one of our magnets. As well as handling magnets\u2019 safety there are numerous steps you can take to help protect your magnets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
