Influencing Factors

What can affect the strength of a magnet?

Factors that can affect the strength of a magnet include:

  • Heat
  • Radiation
  • Strong electric currents in close proximity to the magnet
  • Other magnets in close proximity to the magnet
  • Neo magnets corrode in high humidity environments unless they have a protective coating
  • Shock and vibration do not affect modern magnet materials unless they are severe enough to physically damage the material
