How To Transport Magnets By Air

When transported by air, the magnets need to be entrusted to a special institution (bureau of technical supervision) to do degaussing. The so-called degaussing is not really to eliminate the magnetic performance of the magnet, but to adopt different methods according to different product strength to make the unit packing meet the state requirements for aviation safety transportation.

For some magnets with weak magnetism, we usually use the general iron as the isolation, fix the magnets, pack with the pearl cotton bag, and finally put them into the cartons. Then they can go through the airline Mag&Bag.

As for the strong magnets, we can make them through the airline Mag&Bag by using special package with the effect of the magnetic isolation, and now some magnetic isolation material in the market can achieve this effect. In the packaging process, we usually reassemble the powerful magnet with these magnetic isolation materials, so as to reduce the magnetic strength, and make the strong magnet through the airline Mag&Bag.

Three Suggestions On The Application Of NdFeB Magnet

As the permanent magnet with the strongest magnetic force so far, neodymium iron boron magnet has been widely used in energy, transportation, machinery, medical, IT, household appliances industry and other fields. And here are three suggestions on the application of it.

First, the magnetism of neodymium iron boron magnet is very strong, and it is hard but brittle. Therefore, when working in the occasions with the vibration, shock and so on, it may break and even fall off. Hit by strong impact, the magnet debris may even scatter. So there should be the design of necessary protection application to make sure that even though the magnet is broken, the debris will not fly out.

Second, neodymium iron boron magnet should be stored in indoor place that is ventilated and dry. Stored in the acidic, alkaline, hot and humid environment, or in the liquid like organic solvent and water, the magnet is easy to rust, and the powder coating shedding of magnet is easy to demagnetize.

Third, the magnet should work in the clean workplace, so as to avoid the iron filings and other small impurities adsorbed on the surface of the magnet.
