All magnets are made of a group of metals called the ferromagnetic metals. These are metals such as nickel and iron. Each of these metals have the special property of being able to be magnetized uniformly. When we ask how a magnet works we are simply asking how the object we call a magnet exerts it’s magnetic field.

Magnets are made from magnetic metals – iron, nickel and cobalt. These are the only pure metals that can be turned into a permanent magnet. Steel is an alloy of iron and so can also be made into a magnet.

How to Magnetize Steel? Discover Two Methods.

1. Find a strong magnet. ( you can use any magnet to “pass on” the magnetism to the steel, but ordinary refrigerator magnets will have a very weak effect)
2. Test the steel’s reaction to the magnet.
3. Stroke the magnet along half the steel, repeatedly.
4. Stroke the opposite end of the magnet along the other half.

Fortunately, it’s possible to remagnetize a magnet, making it as strong as ever. And it’s actually quite easy and simple. If you want the best possible result of the remagnetizing, you need to take you a weakened magnet and touch one of its pole with the opposite pole of a strong neodymium magnet.

If you can find a very strong magnet, repeatedly rub it across your weakened magnet. The strong magnet will realign the magnetic domains inside the weakened magnet [source: Luminaltech]. Magnet stacking One way to make weak magnets stronger is by stacking more of them together.

Pressing Instructions for Aluminum One-Sided and Two-Sided Sublimation Key Chains:

1. Temperature: 400F.
2. Time: 35-45 secs.
3. Pressure: Medium.

Sublicrylic can be decorated cost effectively and easily by using a standard heat press and transfer paper with sublimation inks. …

Remember: sublimation ink can permanently transfer to polyester and polymers. These keychains are polymers. The keychain tags are very light weight yet durable, kind of like a grocery store “shoppers club” tag. Because they are so lightweight, people will not be dragged down by the weight of numerous tags.

While it may not be applicable for certain surfaces, this process fills many unique niches in the promotional printing market and is the ideal choice for printing on polyester fabrics and polyester resin coated products. …
