Magnetizing a 6mm Cylindrical Magnet in Bracelet Clasp: Magnet Repair and Reversing Poles

Best answers LABEL_AI_GENERATED

How can I remagnetize the small cylindrical magnets in a bracelet clasp at home, and what kind of magnet is needed?

You can remagnetize them by using a much stronger neodymium magnet, preferably about 5 cm in diameter, and applying it to the bracelet several times. The change is not immediate; the magnetization builds up gradually and you may need to repeat the process [#8276663] One reply also warns that if you simply place the small magnets on a neodymium magnet, the effect may be only temporary [#8277717] Another suggested home method was to wind a few turns of wire around the magnet and discharge a large electrolytic capacitor through the coil in the correct direction, matching the magnet’s natural polarity [#8281555]

    Hello. My woman has a bracelet with a magnet closure. The magnets are cylindrical in shape with a diameter of 6 mm and a height of 2 mm. I don't know if they are neodymium or ordinary magnets ... Once, a long time ago, one of the magnets fell off its clasp. Someone who repaired was skillful enough to probably stick this magnet with the reverse pole so that the fasteners repelled :) I suspect that this person's next idea was to glue these magnets together into one permanent element. I would like to point out that this person is not me :) Recently, a woman asked me to repair this bracelet because, by constantly pushing it on her hand, the line broke ... the line was soldered and it works. I figured I'd do these magnets as well. Since the glue would not dissolve in the solvent, I put it under very high heat (burnt it). The magnets fell apart, the stuck one also moved away from the cap and to my surprise it turned out that the magnets no longer attract each other. I suspect that it was because they had been touched by opposite poles for a very long time, or I heated them to a temperature higher than the Curie temperature ... (such a digression as a warning to other "golden hands") but this is not important.
    My question is:
    1. How do you magnetize these magnets at all?
    2. Can they be magnetized, and how, with other magnets and what and how large should these magnets be?
    3. Maybe anyone has any other simple advice to do it at home?
    Thanks in advance for ANY help :)
    Luke

    You need to have another high-power magnet, preferably a neodymium one, with a diameter of at least 5 cm and put it on the bracelet. Unfortunately, you have to do it several times because the magnetization changes slowly but abruptly. It would be best to do it hot, but unfortunately, since it is a bracelet, you have to struggle with the cold. I think this method should work.

    And for how long should such a magnet be applied? Several times for a moment, or for example an hour, a day, a few days? I heard that you can put such a magnet on a large neodymium magnet for about 3 days ... would it also do something?

    Yes, before I wrote my question, I read a little bit, also the mentioned thread. However, it was about remagnetizing a larger magnet, and I have such shit, I am not sure if they are neodymium and in addition they do not have to attract very strongly. I tried to find such magnets somewhere in Lodz, but where I did not call, no one had any idea where something like this can be bought or repaired ... that's why I try to figure out something else, if I fail to repair or buy such a magnet, I will simply buy an ordinary clasp but I consider it a failure :) that's why I am still asking for some advice. And for an explanation of how to apply this magnet (from the second post).
    What is the impermanence of this magnetization? Will they return to the starting point some time after being magnetized, or will some energy stay in them?

    I'm probably wrong, but if it's an "ordinary" magnet and you have nothing to lose, try to heat it up again to the highest possible temperature, then tap the hammer several times in the same place (I think the point is that all the particles should settle in same direction) and let it cool down gently. Let me know if it helped.
    greetings

    Well, a revelation just the opposite

    to demagnetize a magnet you need to:
    either heat it or hit it :-)

    Come on scouts! Didn't you make a magnetic needle? Elementary school. Rubbing! Rubbing until the effect!

    And you scout, do you know the general rules of spelling? Check it out until you are done. :D
    By rubbing this magnet will not be permanent.

Topic summary

LABEL_AI_GENERATED
The discussion revolves around repairing a 6mm cylindrical magnet used in a bracelet clasp, which has lost its magnetic attraction after being improperly reattached. Users suggest various methods for remagnetizing the magnets, including using a larger neodymium magnet, applying heat, and tapping the magnet to align its particles. There are also discussions about the impermanence of magnetization and alternative solutions, such as replacing the clasp with a standard one if repair fails. The effectiveness of different techniques, including the use of wire coils and capacitors for magnetization, is debated, with some cautioning against the risks of using strong magnets.
