Busting Common Misconceptions About Magnetics By Radial Magnets Magnetics is one of the most widely used yet misunderstood areas of modern engineering. From electric vehicles to smartphones, magnets are everywhere—but myths and misconceptions still shape how people think about them. Let’s break down some of the most common misunderstandings and replace them with clear, science-backed...Read More

What metals are not magnetic? Aluminum, copper, brass, gold, silver, lead and titanium do not strongly stick to ordinary magnets. Learn why aluminum is only weakly paramagnetic, why copper and precious metals are diamagnetic, how 304/316 stainless steel behaves, and why non-magnetic target materials matter in real magnetic assemblies.Read More

Magnets are surrounded by myths and oversimplifications. Here are several common misconceptions and the engineering reality behind them. Myth 1: Magnets Automatically Destroy Electronics Reality: The effect depends on field strength, distance and the type of device. Strong magnets can interfere with some sensors, magnetic storage media and devices that rely on magnetic components, but...Read More
