Copper is mostly used as a decorative coating. This particular coating provides protection of the magnet from corrosion in ambient air, but is less than nickel. The prolonged life of this coating is not as good. So depending on the application especially as it relates to friction the copper can rub off over time. Copper is not a protective coating from humidity, water, or salt water. The standard thickness of this coating is 8-10 microns and the max working Temp is approximately 200C.
