Copper does not rust. It can however be eaten by low PH water and Chlorine.


Are rusty magnets as strong as magnets that are not rusty?

The Rust affects the magnet. The magnetic energy won't work as well cause it has to work thru the rust. So no, rusty magnets are not as strong as a nonrusty magnet


How do you separate iron oxide and salt water?

A strong magnet or electromagnet can be used to hold the iron oxide(rust) in place as the water is poured off. Care should be taken to bring all of the rust near the magnet in order to collect it all.


Is rust attracted to magnets?

yes it is because the compounds of metal is still in the rust which the magnet pulls by its magnet field with the power of positive and negative energy rubbing against eac other creating a magnetic ull which pull an metal even if there is only one atom of metal left in the rust.


Why does rust change a magnet's power of attraction?

The oxidation causes magnets to lose protons that are essential for magnetic attraction


Will a magnet attract a thumbtack?

The answer is yes, it will be attracted, and that because of the fact that the electrons that are loose between the atoms of the iron ( and every metal ) have a spin set by the general law of pauli ( hund's law ) so as that their magnetic quantum number is maximum . If one adds these quantum numbers ( spins ) it will be observable that iron in any form ( rusty or not ) is eligible to being attracted by a magnet since each of its electrons' energy is slightly changed due to their spins thus creating a dipole.


What are office supply staples made out of?

Office supply staples are made out of steel, but not stainless steel. While you can pick them up with a magnet, if they get wet they will rust if not dried off.


If a Nitto bike stem has rust but magnets don't stick to it what is it made of?

Nitto only makes their stems out of aluminum or Cro-Mo, a steel alloy. If you had an aluminum stem that was corroding, the corrosion would be white. By "rust" I assume that you're talking about the typically red colored iron oxide rust. If the step is showing signs of rust, but isn't magnetic according to your particular magnet, it could be that it's magnetic, but has a very weak magnetic attraction. Likely due to a high concentration of chromium and nickel, and not enough iron to attract your magnet. Probably closer to a stainless steel, which is typically non-magnetic due to it's composition, than an actual iron based steel.
