Rectangular (14 x 6 x 1-1/2) Magnetic Parts Tray

Large Rectangular Magnetic Parts Tray

Keep loose nuts, screws, and other small metal items in reach so they will not fall into that pile of sawdust at your feet.

Smooth stainless steel trays have powerful ceramic magnets with rubber covers in the base to secure them to a metal toolbox or table. Makes a great gift.

A rubber-covered magnet keeps the parts tray firmly attached to a metal workbench, car fender or any other ferrous metal surface without scratching.

• Store metal parts and tools during assembly and disassembly
• Good for use at home, garage, workshop or job site
• Ideal for mechanics, craftsmen, hobbyists or do- it- yourselfers

Ceramic (ferrite) magnets are composed of strontium carbonate and iron oxide.

Manufacturing - A powdered mixture of strontium carbonate and iron oxide is injected into a wet or dry press for forming. During this process, a magnetic field is applied in the direction of preferred magnetization to orient the material and increase the magnet's performance potential. This magnet is considered "oriented" (anisotropic). If not exposed to a magnetic field at the time of formation, it is called "non- oriented" (isotropic).

After the molding process, the magnetic material is then sintered at about 2,000°F. The sintering process is similar to that of kilning ceramic pottery, thus the popular name "ceramic" magnet.

Lastly, the magnet is finished-ground to size with a diamond-bladed grinding wheel, magnetized, and inspected for shipment.

Visual imperfections such as cracks, porosity, voids, surface finish, etc. (commonly found in sintered ceramic magnets) do not constitute a cause for rejection. Chips are acceptable if no more than 5% of the pole surface is removed. Cracks are acceptable, provided they do not extend across more than 50 percent of the pole surface.

Magnetizing and Handling - Ceramic magnet material is extremely brittle and can chip or break if dropped on a hard surface, or if allowed to "jump at" an attracting object.
