Thanks Ben, actually I'm ready to go for comparative testing at this stage, between ductil & ceramic magnets. Would you know where I could source strips of ductile magnets?
The wear is through abrasion. I am in the cement manfucturing business and cement is quite abrasive. When conveyed through conveyors & transfers chutes, wear does occur on mild steel, and leads us to areas where the steel becomes paper thin, then a hole appears leading to leakages.
As the usual...
Thanks Mike for your answer. Is there other steel types that will retain the magnetism? I'm looking for something that will hold up at least a month.
If not, you mention permanent magnets. Is it possible to buy sheets of permanent magnet and cut them up in strips of metal with an iron worker? If...
I would interested to know if there are industrial machines out there that are able to magnetize strips of metal.
The end objective is to have production teams use theses as patches where steel has worn through while waiting for a more permanent patch to be made / or replacement, by the...
