Neodymium Disc Magnets

Gold coated Neodymium magnets are slightly more corrosion resistant than standard nickel coated ones. This can help to extend their working life in certain circumstances and can make them a more economical proposition in the long term. As gold is a soft and malleable metal, it does not tolerate abrasive forces well, so applications that subject the magnet to constant impact or rubbing should be avoided. Other applications sometimes benefit from the electrically conductive capabilities that gold coatings present, making them suitable for use in electrical devices, alarms, gauges and for scientific purposes.

The visually attractive nature of Gold coatings appeals to jewellery makers and fashion designers who use magnets to embellish their work and make it more practical to use. Artisans involved in creating small production, home-based items also find these magnets can give their designs a unique and original quality. Gold is also regarded as a harmless and non-toxic natural element and for this reason many Naturopaths and those who believe in the healing power of magnetic therapy choose Gold coated magnets for use on their clients. Neodymium magnets are small yet powerful and these factors have led to their inclusion in many modern day technologies and innovations where reduced size and greater capacity is the prevailing objective.
