Almost all of the rare earth magnets I have had eventually lose there
chrome or nickel. I have purchased from different vendors.


Is this because the ones I notice it are used to hold tools, and things
like the the drill chuck key.

Is it because they are banging the magnet?

Is it because the magnets are so strong the chrome just can't handle the
polarization?

Is it the quality of the magnets?

I've had the same luck. Some seemed to have chipped with only rare
use or contact.

================================================== ==================
It would seem that the chrome doesn't stick to well to the magnets. I have
seen the same thing. It appears that they plate the magnets directly.
Usually, a part is copper plated first before chroming. Copper seems to
stick well to most things but chrome does not. Chrome does stick to copper
very well though. It's likely just a cost cutting measure.

There are better built rare earth magnets that will not chip and IIRC
they do not have a thin chrome coating.

Apparently an indestructible plastic coating protects these magnets.

And their other stuff.

Thanks, Have you used the rubber units?
I hadn't seen them before. For some items that makes sense.
For others not sure. I think I like the chrome look.

But for shop stuff the rubber will solve the problem. Nice the fact that
they become less prone to slide.

Yes, no, maybe, absolutely, and I don't have a clue.

Magnets have a lifetime, and can be affected by lots of things.
Temperature, percussion, strong magnetic fields, lots of things.

I just buy them in bulk, and if they are acting up, I order another 100.
I'm sorry, I have not kept track of suppliers and performance, but they're
so cheap, I don't mess with the details.

I have bought some through magnetsource.com, as well as others. All in all,
I'm satisfied with their performance when their previous generation is
considered.

I recon if the magnet is attached to a fixed object it would effectively
weigh 1000 lbs. Probably would not be a hazard. BUT Imagine the UPS
guy trying to get it out of his truck!

Nope. It would all depend on what the affixed object weighed. If the
affixed object weighed 10 pounds, then the realized or perceived weight
would be 10 lbs plus the weight of the magnet.

You're right. I can envision even a minor fender bender causing a car

I'm wondering if they'd use some type of "canceling" magnet just for
shipping purposes ~ Something similar to the Lee Valley canceling
magnets.

I believe that the "pound" rating of pull is the amount of force that it
takes to remove the magnet from another magnet of the same strength. Like
all those "horsepower" ratings ate Sears. The actual amount of weight it
can lift/attract is much smaller. Anyway, I read that from a manufacturer.
It was buried in the small print, of course.

But don't mind me guys. Keep this mad scientist fantasy thing going here.

LOL Glad I could be of some assistance to someone else this morning.

Since I started typing usenet messages this morning, and in between
same, I've unloaded precisely 337.5 sf of travertine out of the back of
my pickup at a remodel I've got going on about three blocks away from
the house, came back, cooked breakfast and got the two girls away on a
hopefully safe journey to AR ... now, back to check on the tile crew
that was NOT there in time to help me unload my truck.

It's gonna be a multi-tasking week.

Here's where my canine companion stays when I'm at the computer:

She is, despite appearances, indeed alive.

Earlier this morning, I opened a bag of rolls. Was going to have one for
breakfast. Non resealable bag so I left it on the counter. Was going to put
them in another bag after I ate. I came back and there was one of my cats,
sitting on the floor munching on a roll. She didn't want the roll, she just
wanted to steal it. We have five cats. They're like little kids. Amazing how
much trouble they can get in to.

I have taken the magnets out of hard drives.

But I am not concerned about the aesthetics of my shop stuff.
But I am about projects. When I sink a magnet as door catch I worry

I understand completely. Every time I'm in the kitchen munching on
something, my cat is there mewling up a storm until I give her some.
She never eats what I give her, she just wants some of what I'm

Nope. It would all depend on what the affixed object weighed. If
the affixed object weighed 10 pounds, then the realized or perceived
weight would be 10 lbs plus the weight of the magnet.


Nope, not what I said, I said nothing about affixed. I said if the
magnet is attached to a "fixed" object. Read that as an object that
is attached to something that will not allow it to move. The fixed
object could be 2 lbs but if bolted/fixed to a 10 ton block of
cement.... ;~)

So you did. Sheese... picky, picky, picky...



Well Like Yahhhhhh. OMG!
