Yes, magnets attract to one another underwater. In the presence of moisture, neodymium magnets can rust about as fast as a piece of raw iron. While the nickel plating does slow this down, the nickel eventually loses the battle. Do not put unprotected magnets into your aquarium!
Q. Is rusty iron still magnetic?
Rust (a collection of some iron oxides: ) is virtually non-magnetic, unlike plain iron or most types of steel. If the sheet metal on your car has really rusted through, there will be almost no magnetic force between it and the magnetized screwdriver.

Q. Do all magnets rust?
A raw, unplated magnet is not all that different from a piece of raw iron, at least when it comes to corrosion. Iron rusts in the presence of moisture – that’s why iron pans are usually kept oiled. Neodymium magnets are like iron: without protection, they rust easily.
Q. How do you rust proof a magnet?
In some situations, traces of other rare earth elements such as dysprosium are added to a neodymium magnet to improve resistance to corrosion….Other coatings include:
- Gold.
- Silver.
- Zinc.
- Tin.
- Epoxy.
- PTFE.
Q. Do magnets affect fish?
Laboratory and field studies demonstrate that magnetic fields affect fish locomotor activity and spatial distribution. The geomagnetic field can be used by fish for navigation. It is suggested that changes in development can have an aftereffect on fish behavior.
Q. Do Neodymium magnets rust in water?
Regular neodymium magnets are very susceptible to rust, which is why we do not recommend them for exterior applications. On the other hand, water-proof neodymium and ferrite magnets are ideally suited for that purpose. With a few restrictions, magnetic tapes and sheets can also be used outside.
Q. Do black magnets rust?
Neodymium Coatings Neodymium magnets are so prone to corrosion, that even the moisture in the atmosphere can cause them to corrode over time. The typical coating for a neodymium magnet is a layer of nickel followed by a layer of copper and then nickel again.
Q. Do magnets rust fridges?
No, it is not bad to put magnets on the fridge. So, do not fear to damage your fridge, when you hang up magnets. It has no effect on the function of the fridge.
Q. Can Neodymium magnets get wet?
No. While magnets are typically coated with nickel, zinc or epoxy to protect them against rust and corrosion from moisture they are not waterproof. Neodymium magnets will work wet or submerged for a short period.
Q. How can magnets be used to solve problems?
Explanation: The best use for magnets to solve a problem would be securing a broken freezer door. If a magnet is attached to both sides (the door the frame of the freezer) with the opposite sides facing each other, they will be attracted and stick together.
Q. Does iPhone 12 come with AirPods?
The iPhone 12 does not come with AirPods. In fact, the iPhone 12 doesn’t come with any headphones or a power adapter. It only comes with a charging/syncing cable. Apple says it removed the headphones and power adapter to reduce packaging and waste.
