HOW IT'S MADE: Magnets

There are classic main shapes of magnets that are manufactured in the industry. These molds are filled with sand and smoothened out completely. Then gases are pumped into the furnace and this chemically alters the sand, hardening it completely. This would next be infused with metals like copper, cobalt, sulfur, pure iron, aluminum, and even titanium.

These metals are loaded into an induction furnace and are heated upto 3000 degrees Fahrenheit! This mixes with the sand in the mold and forms the metal mix. It is then cooled. The molds are shattered by the workers or the machines and we obtain a lot of metal pieces.
