Frequently Asked Questions Of Our Welding magnets
What is a welding magnet?
A welding magnet is a heavy-duty magnet designed to hold metal parts at specific angles (usually 45°, 90°, or 135°) during welding, soldering, or assembly. It acts as a temporary clamp to free up your hands.
What are welding magnets made of?
They typically contain strong ferrite or neodymium magnets encased in a durable steel or iron frame, often shaped like an arrow or triangle for multi-angle support.
What are the common uses of welding magnets?
Welding magnets are used to hold metal sheets, pipes, or components in place during welding, brazing, soldering, marking, or fitting. They are ideal for fabrication shops, automotive work, and metal construction.
What weight or holding force can welding magnets handle?
Welding magnets vary in strength. Smaller models can hold 25–50 lbs, while larger industrial-grade magnets can support 100 lbs or more. Always check the rated holding capacity before use.
Can welding magnets be used with all types of metal?
They work with ferromagnetic metals like iron, steel, and some stainless steels. They won’t work on non-magnetic metals like aluminum, brass, or copper.
Are welding magnets heat resistant?
Standard welding magnets can tolerate moderate heat, but exposure to very high temperatures may weaken the magnet. For high-temperature applications, choose magnets specifically rated for heat resistance.
How do I clean and maintain a welding magnet?
After use, clean off any metal debris or welding spatter using a cloth or brush. Avoid dropping the magnet or exposing it to excessive heat or moisture to ensure long-lasting performance.
Are welding magnets safe to use near electronics or pacemakers?
Welding magnets generate strong magnetic fields and should be kept away from sensitive electronics, magnetic storage devices, and pacemakers to avoid interference or damage.
