What Happens When Neodymium Magnets Get Wet? Covers the risks of rust, loss of magnetic strength, and protective steps.
When neodymium magnets get wet, they are at risk of corroding quickly. Water and air can react with the magnet’s core if the protective coating is damaged or thin, leading to oxidation and rust. This process not only affects the magnet’s appearance but also reduces its magnetic force and lifespan. For safe and lasting use in wet environments, always choose neodymium magnets with high-quality waterproof coatings or fully encapsulated designs. Avoid submerging ordinary neodymium magnets in water and keep them dry whenever possible. Taking these precautions helps maintain both the performance and longevity of your magnets.
