1. A mechanical wear element for attachment to one of a ferrous or a magnetic substrate comprising:
- a. a mechanical wear element material consisting essentially of non-ferrous material;
b. a plurality of grooves formed within said mechanical wear element material;
c. a plurality of magnets each firmly disposed within one of said grooves; and
d. a ferrous element distinct from the ferrous or magnetic substrate and in contact with at least two of the magnets and embedded within the mechanical wear element material;
whereby the mechanical wear element is movable and may be attached to one of the ferrous or the magnetic substrate and easily repositioned or removed by a user through lifting or prying the mechanical wear element away from the substrate material which is fixed relative to the mechanical wear element.

Abstract
A removable, magnetically-affixed mechanical wear element, preferably comprising ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene or polyurethane materials, is provided for affixation to a ferrous substrate material. The mechanical wear element is configured so that the magnetic attachment element is not easily removed or dislodged from the mechanical wear element, without regard to choice of mechanical wear element material utilized.

10. A mechanical wear element for attachment to one of a ferrous or a magnetic substrate comprising:
-
a. a mechanical wear element material having an exterior face confronting the ferrous or the magnetic substrate when the mechanical wear element is attached thereto; b. a plurality of magnets each firmly disposed within said mechanical wear element material; and c. a ferrous element distinct from the ferrous or magnetic substrate and in contact with at least two of the magnets and firmly disposed within said mechanical wear element material; wherein the ferrous element is embedded within said mechanical wear element material such that substantially none of the ferrous element is exposed on the exterior face of the mechanical wear element; whereby the mechanical wear element is movable and when attached to one of the ferrous or the magnetic substrate easily repositioned or removed from the substrate which is fixed relative to the mechanical wear element. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
