how should a magnet be stored from a protective point of view
Answers
Storage solutions depend on the nature of the articles being stored. Magnets have special characteristics, requiring careful storage. Be aware also that different magnets display different sensitivities. Know the material used in the construction of your permanent magnet. The four things you should be aware of are: heat, shock, moisture and demagnetization.
Store the magnet at room temperature. Storing it at a temperature greater than its Curie temperature will demagnetize it. The Curie temperature--named after the French scientist Pierre Curie--is the temperature at which magnets lose their permanent magnetism. This temperature varies, based on the magnetic material. Here are the Curie temperatures for the four most common types of permanent magnets: ceramic/ferrite magnets--460°C, alnico magnets (alloy of aluminum, nickel, and cobalt)--860°C, samarium cobalt magnets (alloy of samarium and cobalt)--750°C, and neodymium magnet (alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron)--310°C.
