Yes, it is possible for a permanent magnet to lose its magnetism. There are three common ways for this to occur: 1) Via heat: ferromagnet materials will lose their magnetism if heated above a point known as the Curie temperature. Modern materials do not suffer this type of problem.
A.
How long does it take a magnet to lose its magnetism?
This alignment is damaged over time, principally as the result of heat and stray electromagnetic fields, and this weakens the level of magnetism. The process is very slow, however: a modern samarium-cobalt magnet takes around 700 years to lose half its strength.
How can a magnet lose its magnetic properties?

When the electric current moves through a wire, it makes a magnetic field. You can make a temporary magnet by stroking a piece of iron or steel (such as a needle) along a permanent magnet. There is another way that uses electricity to make a temporary magnet, called an electromagnet. Let's build one!Do magnets work in space?
One way would be to test magnets in a vacuum. That might give you an idea about whether magnets work in space. But space also has low gravity, something that is more difficult to simulate here on earth, even in a vacuum. The magnet lines up with the earth's magnetic field - just like a compass.
B.
Do magnets run out of magnetism?
It would make sense that a magnet would operate like a battery and would run out of power. Actually, it turns out that magnets don't operate like batteries. A magnet works by the atoms lining up in a piece of iron or steel. When the atoms are aligned, north and south poles are created, resulting in magnetism.
Do magnets lose their magnetism when heated?
A: Yes, the neodymium magnet will lose its magnetism when heated above its Curie point. Unless it's held in a strong field while it's cooling, however, the magnetic directions of those little domains will point all different directions. Their fields will mostly cancel, so it won't act like much of a magnet any more.Do magnets rust?
Untreated neodymium magnets oxidise very quickly and break. To protect our magnets from corrosion, they have a thin nickel copper nickel coating. Avoid damaging the protective coating and check magnets frequently for rust. Please keep in mind that you will need to replace rusting magnets.How can a magnet lose its magnetic properties?
