Iron is composed of, as the name implies, metallic iron. This metal is prone to oxidation, which accounts for its tendency to rust. Rust chemically speaking, is hydrated iron(iii) oxide and iron (iii) oxide-hydroxide.

Common household ferrite magnets, however, are not made of elemental iron metal. Instead, they consist of ceramic materials containing iron oxides. In these iron compounds, the iron has already been oxidized, so that it does not rust or react further.

Do magnets attach to rust?

Magnets are attracted to anything with iron in it. Rust is Iron Oxide, so yes!


Why isn't rust attracted to magnets?

Rust, which is iron oxide, is not magnetic because the oxygen atoms in rust disrupt the alignment of iron atoms. This disruption prevents the iron atoms from forming a magnetic field, so rust is not attracted to magnets.


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.


Does rust change a magnets power of attraction?

yes.The iron oxide will change with aligned magentic quality in iron.


Can magnets crumble or flake with age?

It's possible. Magnets usually have a good deal of iron in them, particularly the older ones. Iron can rust or otherwise be attacked, depending on the conditions under which it is stored. Magnets are generally suseptible to corrosion.


How does rust affect magnets?

Rust can weaken magnets by creating a barrier between the magnet and the object it attracts, reducing the magnetic strength. The presence of rust can also interfere with the magnet's ability to create a magnetic field, diminishing its effectiveness. Regular maintenance and protection from moisture can help prevent rust and preserve the magnet's magnetic properties.
