These magnets are made from lightweight barium and iron
oxides and differ from materials commonly used to make
permanent magnets. It has a high resistance to
demagnetization (no keepers are needed), ageing effects
are negligible and has a high electrical resistivity.
These magnets magnetize best across thin sections instead
of in the conventional long dimension. They are magnetized
parallel to the axis with NORTH on one face and SOUTH on
the other.
