Working with Neodymium Magnets

Learn how to safely and effectively handle neodymium magnets – from mounting to separation and use in projects.

Self-adhesive magnets make it easy to attach magnets to non-magnetic surfaces, such as ceramic and other non-magnetic materials. We offer both block-shaped and disk-shaped magnets with an adhesive layer.

Typically, these magnets are available in packs where one side is covered with adhesive material on the north pole, and the other on the north pole. This allows attraction when needed, e.g., for creating closures or connectors.

Our self-adhesive magnets are made with foam glue, which is also available separately as double-sided adhesive stickers. This high-performance adhesive provides excellent shear strength, preventing shifting and lifting of edges.

To use the magnet, simply peel off the backing paper and apply it to the desired location. The adhesive is strong enough to allow repositioning of the magnet for precise fitting. After placing the magnet, press it firmly to ensure even adhesion.

We recommend waiting 24-48 hours after attaching the magnet for the adhesive to fully cure before applying any force to the bond.
Neodymium magnets are among the strongest magnets available on the market. They stand out with many advantages, making them popular in a wide range of applications:

Key features:
Extremely strong magnetic force, allowing effective attraction even from a distance.
Compact sizes, meaning even small magnets have great power.
High resistance to demagnetization under normal usage conditions.
Wide range of applications, from industrial to everyday use at home.
However, they require caution during use to avoid damage or injury.
To choose the best magnet, it's worth conducting thorough research and considering the size and attraction power. Start by estimating what size of magnet you will need, e.g., whether you want to use a flat magnet or a magnet with a hole. Remember, a larger magnet is stronger but may also be more dangerous to use. Next, focus on the attraction power, which is crucial for selecting a magnet for your project. For more information on attraction power, refer to the product specifications.
Magnets are essential in many projects, both for improving home functionality and as part of products for sale. In some cases, they need to be glued. Here are some tips to help you succeed on the first try.

Application tips:
Always read the instructions for the glue you are using.
Before applying the glue, make sure the surfaces are clean. Residues, grease, or dirt can create a barrier that prevents proper adhesion of the magnet.
It is recommended to sand smooth magnet surfaces to improve glue adhesion.
Gluing magnets to plastic can be more difficult due to issues with achieving proper glue adhesion. Consult the glue manufacturer's technical support for advice on plastics.
The best choice of glue is two-component epoxy resin, which works well in most cases. Recommended glues include: Loctite Plastic Bonder Epoxy, E6000 Adhesive, Super Glue, Gorilla Glue, and many others.
Avoid using hot glue guns as the high temperature can demagnetize the magnets.
For license plate mounting, it is recommended to use two magnets MPL 40x18x10 / N38 - neodymium magnet under the bumper and two magnets MPL 40x20x5 / N38 - neodymium magnet under the license plate. It is important to attach a thin sheet of metal under the plate, which will cover the magnets and protect them from detaching due to heat and vibrations. Since license plates are made of aluminum and are non-magnetic, the metal sheet helps keep the magnets in place. Additionally, the rivets on the plate can create the illusion that the plate is permanently attached, which enhances security against theft.
Magnets attract iron because iron is a strongly magnetic metal. The atomic structure of iron allows effective bonding with the magnetic field of the magnet.
Magnets usually do not attract aluminum because aluminum is not part of ferromagnetic materials. However, in certain situations, such as the presence of powerful magnetic fields, aluminum can exhibit weak reactions.
Magnets attract metal because some metals, such as nickel, have magnetically attractive properties. When a neodymium magnet approaches a metallic surface, magnetic polarizations are created, which bond the magnet to the metal.
Use a compass: A simple method is to use a compass. Be cautious not to let the compass needle touch the magnet to avoid damaging the compass. The compass needle points to the physical 'S' magnet pole.
Use a smartphone app: There are apps that help identify the poles of a magnet.
Use a teslameter: A teslameter measures the induction value and shows which pole is which.
Magnetic pole detector: You can also purchase a magnetic pole detector that will help you easily identify the poles. For more information on magnetic directions, visit NS magnets.
To magnetize a neodymium magnet, a process called "magnetic induction" must be performed. There are several ways to magnetize a magnet:
Using a strong neodymium magnet: Place the magnet next to a strong neodymium magnet, ensuring the poles of the magnets touch.
Using electric current: Connect the magnet to electrical wires, which causes the current to induce a magnetic field.
Using a magnetic induction device: Magnetic induction devices available in electronics stores allow you to magnetize a magnet using a strong magnetic field.

Important: Magnetizing a neodymium magnet can be difficult if the magnet is damaged or incomplete. More information on magnetization methods and pole directions can be found in our technical guide.
A magnet and a magnetic holder differ in construction and purpose. A magnet is a component made from a magnetic material that attracts ferromagnetic metals such as ferromagnetic metals. It is used in various fields such as industrial applications.

A magnetic holder is a magnet with an enclosed casing that protects it from damage, such as cracks or scratches. Thanks to its special design, the magnetic holder may include additional features like threads or handles, making installation and use easier. The benefit of magnetic holders is their higher load capacity, but they have a smaller range of action. For more information about magnets and magnetic holders, visit technology.
To remove dents from car sheet metal, several methods can be used. One is using a magnet in conjunction with a large ferromagnetic ball on the other side of the sheet. This allows leveling the sheet, but this method is only effective if the sheet is thicker than 0.6 mm.

Another method is PDR (Paintless Dent Repair), which involves bending the sheet using a special kit (cost approx. 500 PLN). This labor-intensive method allows for dent removal without the need for repainting.

Alternatively, a specialized PDR 1000 device can be used, which generates a magnetic field and is dedicated to removing dents from steel bodies. This solution is fast and effective, and is perfect for automotive workshops. For more information about magnets, visit our technology guide.
The magnet RM R6 GOLF - 13000 Gs / N52 from DHIT is one of the best magnets for anti-theft clips, with a strength of 12000 - 13000 GS. Thanks to its unique "cylinder" shape with a recessed center, the magnet works doubly on clips of various shapes, allowing for quick and easy removal. The magnet is simple to use and intuitive, and its installation on a counter is very easy. This is a modern and effective tool recommended for stores, such as outlets. Ideal for sellers who value efficiency and performance. For more information on anti-theft clip removal magnets, visit anti-theft clips.
No, you should not solder or weld neodymium magnets. Heat generated during soldering or welding demagnetize neodymium magnets, leading to removal of magnetic properties. Additionally, there is a risk of fire during the process. Burning magnets releases toxic substances, which poses a health hazard and can lead to fume poisoning. Instead, use techniques for handling magnets that do not affect their magnetism.
Separating neodymium magnets requires precision and caution. The best way is to use tools such as wedges or dedicated magnet separators.
Start by sliding one magnet to the side, instead of pulling it directly. Secure the magnets to prevent them from sudden connection. More information can be found on the separation tools page.
For processing neodymium magnets, special diamond discs with water cooling are used. Precision and specialized knowledge are crucial. For more information, visit the diamond tools page.
Yes, connecting magnets can increase their attraction strength, if the poles are correctly aligned. Increasing the power has its limitations.

Technical information about magnets

Detailed technical data on neodymium magnets – from grades and protective coatings to their properties and applications.

Neodymium magnets typically withstand temperatures from -130°C to up to 230°C, depending on the applied grade.
The force of interaction between two magnetic poles is a key aspect of magnet functionality, which can be easily observed in practice:

Basic principles:
Opposite poles (N and S) attract, creating a stable connection.
Like poles (N and N or S and S) repel, making it difficult to bring them together.
The force of interaction depends on the distance between the poles and the power of the magnets.
Magnetic fields can affect conductors as well as some electronic devices, so caution is advised.
Proper utilization of magnetic poles enables effective applications in technologies such as electric motors and separators.
The earliest documented laboratory research on materials that could serve in the production of powerful magnets had their origins over 50 years ago. During that period, two researchers, G. Hoffer and K. Strnat from the Air Force Materials Laboratory decided to launch a wide range of studies on magnets composed of metals belonging to the so-called group of rare metals. At the beginning of the research, examined materials planned to be used for creating high-strength magnets were based on iron, cobalt, and a selection of lanthanides, which include: praseodymium Pr, neodymium Nd, cerium Ce, samarium Sm, lanthanum La, and yttrium Y. These relatively unknown metals exhibit particular characteristics, such as high magnetization levels, however they suffered from a very low Curie temperature. Today’s high-strength magnets include iron as well as in addition to a mix of lanthanides, allowing for significant magnetocrystalline anisotropy, and in addition, a few percent cobalt is added in order to raise the overall Curie temperature. The first high-strength magnets were developed in 1970 from powdered samarium together with other elements from the lanthanide family. This led to the development of a groundbreaking high-performance magnet SmCo5. The manufacturing process was based on the phenomenon of directional alignment of the alloy crystals within powdered material in the presence of a magnetic field through sintering. The sintering process of preforms was carried out at temperatures above 1100°C followed by final annealing at a temperature of 850°C. The concluding process in the development of this powerful magnet required magnetizing the structure under a strong field of 2T. By employing this technique, the Curie temperature of the newly developed magnets was raised to 745°C.
In the period when scientists were designing the next strong magnets using samarium, in 1983 it was discovered very intriguing magnetic properties of the neodymium compound with the addition of boron and iron. General Motors a year after the discovery created compound with the chemical structure Nd2Fe14B, in the proportion of 15% neodymium, 6% boron and over 70% iron. The technology for manufacturing high-power neodymium magnets involves two methods. The Japanese Sumitomo plant, which is part of Hitachi, similarly as with samarium magnets, used the method of sintering powdered substances, resulting in the production of dense magnets.

In America powerful neodymium magnets were produced in the plants of GM with the method of dynamic temperature reduction of a liquefied mixture of powders. Why using boron, neodymium and iron proved to be much more efficient? Using neodymium was considerably cheaper than in the case of samarium, and besides neodymium is characterized by much better magnetic parameters. Unfortunately the Curie temperature of this element was significantly lower, and so a decision was made to increase this temperature to 530°C. Such a value was obtained by means of adding a small amount of boron to the formula of the neodymium magnet. Furthermore it is also possible to adjust the magnetic properties of the magnet by incorporating additional elements, such as gallium Ga, copper Cu, niobium Nb and aluminum Al.
Neodymium magnets are today the strongest types of magnets that have been developed so far. In 1990, at the Trinity College Dublin, Michael Coey developed a previously unknown magnetic alloy with the chemical structure Sm2Fe17N2. The process of creating this material was based on synthesis of fine samarium and iron powder, which were pressed in a strong magnetic field along with the addition of nitrogen, resulting in a Curie temperature of up to 470°C and a magnetization level 0.9T. These although here the parameters achieved are close to neodymium magnets, but the newly invented composition of samarium actually far surpassed the first produced magnets. The late 1990s brought further ideas in the area of powerful magnets and techniques of their manufacturing.
An alloy with a nano-crystalline structure was researchers developed, constructed from microscopic grains with a size smaller than 100 nm. The newly discovered grains nano-crystals, in unlike the monocrystalline structure are separated by space with higher surface tension as well as a less ordered structure. Through the use of, at the stage of production elements from the group of rare earth metals along with iron, they are characterized by a high level of magnetic remanence. Great magnetic parameters also result from another aspect, that is the coupling of magnetic moments iron with neodymium. This makes it possible outstanding magnetization the presented magnets.
Currently neodymium magnets are produced primarily in Asia. The main producer and also distributor of these types of products have become China, due to holding most resources of necessary elements. For industrial production high-power magnets two compounds are used: Nd2Fe14B and Sm2Fe17N2. These are neodymium-based magnets and nano-crystalline magnets, characterized not only the highest level of magnetization, but high magnetic remanence. Utilization strong neodymium magnets is very wide. The primary categories of customers have become companies from the production industry, creating electrical and electronic equipment, in particular automotive companies, applying very efficient electric and hybrid motors. For the production of such motors neodymium magnets are applied from an alloy with elements reducing efficiency losses of magnets in high temperatures such as Terbium (Tb) and dysprosium (Dy). Thanks to the use of the above-mentioned substances, magnetic coercivity has been greatly enhanced and overall performance magnets used in electronic devices with high nominal power. In the United States of America for many years specialized research has been carried out by the REACT Institute, which is responsible for developing modern materials and alloys. Several years ago, ARPA-E allocated nearly 32 million dollars for supporting projects and research under the Rare-Earth Substitute program, which aims to develop alternatives to metals as an alternative for natural deposits of elements, which are controlled by China.

The production neodymium-based magnets is based on two methods. In Japanese companies use a method of sintering ferromagnetic powders, while in the United States a method based on very fast cooling. Depending on expectations, neodymium magnets can also be produced using other additives, for example aluminum, gallium or copper. Through such combinations it is possible to significantly control magnetic characteristics itself, its strength level, and also resistance to high temperatures. It is even possible to make the magnet resistant to harmful atmospheric conditions, such as water, which can cause rusting of iron. On the other hand continuous enhancement of powder metallurgy led to achieving various material alloys, which greatly enhanced the increase Curie temperature. Produced using a modern manufacturing method a neodymium magnet, can achieve magnetization of over 1.6T, meaning far higher such as the magnetic field emitted by Earth.
A neodymium magnet is the strongest permanent magnet made by humans. Its extraordinarily high magnetic strength comes from the use of a mixture of iron, neodymium, and boron in the right proportions to form a tetragonal crystal structure of Nd2Fe14B. This combination of components provides unprecedented magnetic properties, including exceptionally high magnetic anisotropy.
Neodymium magnets can be made as sinters, but it is also possible to produce neodymium magnets as so-called bonded magnets, using plastic or resin binders as a binder.
Neodymium magnets are sintered material made from iron, boron, neodymium, and other additives. The production process begins with choosing the correct amounts of each element, which get melted and then cast. The resulting plates are crushed by a hydrogen method and then ground into a powder. The powder obtained this way is subjected to a densification process. The material is formed by a pseudo-isostatic method under high pressure, which allows for achieving high density and uniformity. During the forming process, the material is magnetized using a magnetic field, which sets the magnetization direction for anisotropic magnets or without a magnetic field for isotropic magnets. Then, the shapes are sintered, and after this step, they undergo mechanical and surface treatment (including protecting with protective layers). Finally, the resulting product is magnetized in a magnetizer, becoming a magnet.
Rare earth magnets are magnets that contain at least in part metals known as earth metals. This group of elements includes: scandium, yttrium, lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, and lutetium. The most famous of these elements for any magnet user are of course neodymium, which is used for the production of NdFeB magnets, and samarium, which is used for the production of SmCo magnets. Rare earth elements are not actually scarce in the Earth's crust. In fact, they are quite abundant, but their deposits are typically scattered and sparse, making it unprofitable to mine them. For this reason, they were called 'rare earth elements.'
Of course, the strongest will be the strongest magnet (e.g. N54 magnet). However, such materials are much more expensive than standard ones. A higher magnet will work at a greater distance, the magnetic field lines will emerge from the pole surface and shoot upward, and there is a chance of attracting an iron piece or another magnet from a longer distance. On the other hand, a flat magnet in practice will have greater lifting capacity, able to hold and lift elements with a larger surface area and dimensions.
Markings used for neodymium magnets consist of letters and numbers, where letters like M ('medium'), H ('high'), SH ('super high'), UH ('ultra high'), EH ('extra high') indicate the resistance strength of the magnet to loss of magnetism due to high temperature or influence of opposite magnetic fields, and numbers like 35, 38, 42, 45, 48, 50, 52 indicate the magnetic energy density of the magnet in units of MGsOe. For example, marking N52SH indicates that this is a neodymium magnet with a magnetization of 52 Mega Gauss Oersteds - (MGsOe) and has a very high coercivity value (SH stands for 'super high').
Neodymium magnets are typically available in simple shapes such as: cylinder, as well as a ring, meaning neodymium cylinders with a hole. These are commonly referred to as cylindrical magnets, but it should also be noted that both flat and ring magnets can be made with specially chamfered holes to allow for the embedding, flush with the surface, of a screw or bolt head. There is also the option to make neodymium magnets in the shape of a sphere, as well as so-called segmented (arc) magnets, which are cut sections of a ring. You can also order magnets in shapes like trapezoids or other geometric figures, provided that the shape can be cut with an electrodischarge machine without breaking the magnet's shape during the process. The brittleness of neodymium magnets limits the ability to produce complex shapes, for example, threads cannot be directly made in the magnet itself.
Neodymium magnets made from the compound Nd2Fe14B are composite iron, boron, and neodymium. In reality, the composition of a neodymium magnet contains only about 30% neodymium, and thanks to its atomic structure, these magnets are so potent.
To magnetize a magnet, magnetic devices are used, which are machines where a sufficiently large static electromagnetic field can be generated. After increasing the field (current intensity) to a point called saturation, further increases are ineffective as they do not enhance the magnetic induction of the magnet. The external field is then reduced to zero. The properties of neodymium magnets, made from magnetically hard materials, ensure that after the field is turned off, the magnetization value does not drop to zero but stabilizes at the point Br, which is called remanence induction, or the point of residual magnetism. The magnetizing process is best described by the first quadrant of the magnetic hysteresis loop.
Yes, there are several ways to remagnetize neodymium magnets. The simplest method is to heat the magnet first above the defined maximum working temperature for the magnetic material, usually around 80 degrees Celsius, which will cause partial demagnetization, and then heat it above the Curie temperature, at which point the ferromagnetic material becomes paramagnetic, resulting in complete demagnetization. Other methods for demagnetizing neodymium magnets include applying a sufficiently large constant and opposite magnetic field or subjecting the magnet to an alternating magnetic field.
Neodymium magnets are widely used in many electrical devices: gauges, alarm systems, televisions, wind turbines. The main industries where neodymium magnets are used include: automotive.
The most important criterion for selecting neodymium-based magnets will be their application. Factors to consider include operating temperature, environmental conditions, and finally, the force with which the magnet is supposed to work. The strength of neodymium magnets is often given as lifting capacity in kilograms. It is important to note that this value is measured in laboratories, under ideal conditions, with perfect contact between the magnet and the ferromagnetic substrate, and the direction of the force is perpendicular to the contact surface of the magnet. In case of doubts, please contact the advisors at Dhit sp. z o.o. via the phone listed under contact.
Neodymium magnet shows strong interaction primarily iron and all alloys containing it, as well as metals like gadolinium, nickel, erbium, cobalt, and dysprosium. Whether a particular element is more or less easily attracted by a magnet also depends on the shape of the element. In a long element, such as an iron nail, when it is magnetized by the magnetic field of a permanent magnet, the poles will quickly form, meaning that one end of the nail will be ‘N’ and the other ‘S’. However, if the same nail is melted and shaped into a ball, it will be more difficult to pick it up using a magnetic field, especially when the ball is in motion.
No, it will not double.
The magnetic flux density is the amount of magnetic flux per unit area. While the flux density will become slightly stronger when two magnets are placed vertically on top of each other, since the surface area remains the same, there will be no significant difference. For example, if two magnets of size MW 10mm x 10mm are placed on top of each other, the magnetic flux density will be almost the same as for a single magnet of size MW 10x10 mm.
Magnetism is permanent. Strictly speaking, magnetism weakens over the years, but the demagnetization is so minimal that even after several decades, no significant weakening is felt. Therefore, neodymium magnets are generally considered insensitive to demagnetization and are called permanent magnets. Demagnetization is more likely to occur due to temperature changes and repulsive load rather than the passage of time. Magnets made from Alnico material may require remagnetization because they are more prone to demagnetization due to repulsive loads.
Magnesium is a chemical element with the symbol Mg, known for its exceptional properties such as lightness and corrosion resistance. In the context of interaction with magnets, the situation is more complex compared to ferromagnetic materials like iron or nickel.

Key points:
Magnesium is paramagnetic, meaning it reacts to a magnetic field, but the force of attraction is very weak.
Under normal conditions, magnets do not noticeably attract magnesium, as its paramagnetic properties are insufficient to create a significant force.
To observe the paramagnetism effect of magnesium, a very strong magnetic field and specialized equipment are needed.
Magnesium differs from materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel, which are ferromagnetic and strongly react to magnets.
Due to its properties, magnesium is used in various industries, but it is not used as a magnetic material.
Magnets are essential components of many devices and technologies, but how are they actually made? The process of creating them depends on the type of magnet we want to produce – permanent magnets, electromagnets, or temporary magnets. Here is an overview of the key stages of production.

Magnet manufacturing process:
Material selection: Permanent magnets are made from ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, cobalt, or neodymium-iron-boron alloys (NdFeB).
Shaping: The material is shaped into the desired form through casting, sintering, or pressing magnetic powders.
Magnetization: The finished component is subjected to a strong magnetic field, which causes the magnetic domains in the material to align, giving it magnetic properties.
Finishing: Depending on the application, magnets can be further ground, coated with protective layers, or finished in other ways.
Quality control: Each magnet is tested for its magnetic properties and durability to meet user requirements.
Electromagnets: In the case of electromagnets, the process involves winding a conductor around a ferromagnetic core and connecting it to a power source.
Magnetic field therapy is an alternative healing method that is gaining popularity, though it still generates controversy. It involves using magnets or devices generating a magnetic field to improve health.

Key facts:
Magnetic therapy is primarily used for pain relief, tissue regeneration, and improving blood circulation.
There is research indicating that low-frequency magnetic fields may support the treatment of inflammation, bone fractures, or carpal tunnel syndrome.
The effectiveness of magnetic therapy has not been scientifically proven, and expert opinions are divided.
This therapy is generally safe, but may not be suitable for individuals with pacemakers, metal implants, or during pregnancy.
Always consult with a doctor before starting magnetic field therapy, especially in the case of serious conditions.
Neodymium magnets are the most advanced and powerful permanent magnets, differing from traditional magnets in several ways.

Differences between magnets:
Magnetic strength: Neodymium magnets (NdFeB) are several times stronger than traditional ceramic or ferrite magnets.
Composition: Made from neodymium, iron, and boron, whereas traditional magnets are usually ferrite.
Size: Neodymium magnets can be very small yet extremely strong.
Application: Neodymium magnets are used in modern technologies such as electric motors, hard drives, and medical devices.
Durability: Neodymium magnets are more brittle and less resistant to high temperatures than ferrite magnets, requiring protective coatings.
The strongest magnets available on the market are neodymium magnets (NdFeB). They are widely used in technologies requiring high magnetic strength.

Why are neodymium magnets the strongest?
High magnetic strength: They are capable of generating a very strong magnetic field, even in small sizes.
Modern technologies: Used in devices like electric motors, wind turbines, and speakers.
Compactness: Due to their strength, they can replace larger and weaker magnets.
Alternative: Another type of strong magnet is samarium-cobalt magnets (SmCo), which are more resistant to high temperatures but less common and more expensive.
Anisotropic magnets are formed in the presence of a magnetic field, which aligns the magnetizing material along the field lines. These magnets are magnetized in one direction, making them stronger. In contrast, isotropic magnets do not require an external field, and their magnetization occurs only at the end of the process. They are weaker, but can be magnetized in any direction, allowing for creating magnets with multiple poles.
More information on magnetic materials can be found on the technology page.
Neodymium magnets are among the strongest permanent magnets. Neodymium magnets define three key parameters that affect their properties: remanence (Br), coercivity (Hc), and maximum energy product (BHmax).

Remanence (Br) is the maximum magnetic induction that the magnet can retain after the magnetic field is removed. Neodymium magnets typically have a Br value ranging from 1.1 to 1.4 T.

Coercivity (Hc) is the magnetic field required to erase the remanent magnetization. For neodymium magnets, it typically ranges from 800 to 2000 kA/m.

Maximum energy product (BHmax) is a measure of the energy a magnet can deliver per unit volume. For neodymium magnets, BHmax typically ranges from 200 to 400 kJ/m3.

These parameters are measured using specialized devices such as gaussmeters, teslameters, and magnetometers. More information can be found on the technology page.
The density of a neodymium magnet is an important technical parameter that determines its specific gravity. The higher the density, the heavier the neodymium magnet.

Here are density values for various magnetic materials:
Water: 1.0 (reference value)
Ferrite magnet: around 4.8
Neodymium magnet: around 7.5
Alnico magnet: around 7.3
Iron: 7.9

Neodymium magnets are heavier than other magnetic materials, making them ideal for applications requiring high magnetic power.
Neodymium magnets, also known as neodymium-iron-boron magnets, were invented by a team of scientists from Japan in 1984. The team included Shunichi Miyazawa, Kiyoshi Watanabe, and Jiro Fujita. The discovery took place at the Rare Earth Research Institute in Japan.

Neodymium magnets became a technological breakthrough due to their exceptional magnetism and relatively low mass compared to traditional magnets. As a result, they have found widespread use in many industries, including electronics, automotive, medicine.
There are no materials that can completely block a magnetic field, but some materials that can significantly reduce its impact. These materials are called magnetic shields.

The most commonly used material for shielding is iron, which has very high magnetic permeability. Other materials, such as stainless steel, cobalt, nickel, or copper, can also act as magnetic shields, but their effectiveness is lower.

Shielding works by placing a material with high magnetic permeability between the source of the field and the protected area. Such materials create a so-called Faraday cage, which changes the direction of the magnetic field lines and reduces their effect on the protected space.
Yes, every magnet has at least two poles. Modern magnets can be magnetized multipolar, meaning they can have many pairs of poles. The technical designation of such magnets is 4-pole, which refers to one, two, or three magnetic poles.

Isotropic magnets, formed without a magnetic field, can have multiple poles. Anisotropic magnets, which are formed in a strong magnetic field, can also be magnetized multipolar, but only in a specified direction.

Every magnet always has an even number of poles, which is essential for its operation.
Magnets vary in their resistance to high temperatures. Here are the temperature ranges for different types of magnets:
Ferrite and samarium-cobalt magnets - from -60°C to 250°C.
Neodymium magnets - depending on the type, from -130°C to 80-230°C.
Alnico magnets - can withstand temperatures up to 550°C.

All magnets tolerate low temperatures well, but higher temperatures can lead to demagnetization. It is important to remember that overheating can result in a loss of attraction force and demagnetization.
A magnetic separator is an complex device consisting of multiple magnets that work in magnetic loops. These circuits enhance the magnetic field strength in selected areas. While it is possible to use a magnet instead of a separator, this will be an inefficient option. Magnets without additional components are less effective. A magnetic separator is designed for working conditions and ensures high efficiency. More information about magnetic separators can be found on the magnetic separator page.
Yes, it is possible to make a one-sided magnetic roller that works as a filter in a heat pump. Magnetic rollers are made from neodymium magnets placed inside a steel tube, which allows fluid to flow in only one direction. These rollers are widely used in heating systems, heat pumps, and other industrial devices to remove contaminants from fluids.

More information about magnetic separators can be found on the magnetic separator page.
Neodymium magnets attract ferromagnetic materials such as iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co). Iron, nickel, and cobalt are strongly attracted to neodymium magnets. Steel metals is also strongly attracted by magnets, as it contains iron, which gives it ferromagnetic properties. Materials that do not respond to magnets include stainless steel 304 and acid-resistant steel 316L, often used in dental industries.
Markings of neodymium magnets include letters and numbers that define the magnetic properties of the magnet. Letters such as M – "medium", H – "high", SH – "super high", UH – "ultra high", EH – "extra high" indicate the magnet's resistance to demagnetization. Numbers like N35, N42, N52 define magnetic energy level, expressed in MGsOe. For example, symbol N42SH means a magnet with a magnetic energy density of 42 MGsOe and high resistance to demagnetization. More information about magnets and their markings can be found in our technology guide.
Neodymium magnets do not attract pure gold (Au), aluminum (Al), and copper (Cu). These metals repel magnets in the presence of an alternating magnetic field due to eddy currents. However, neodymium magnets attract ferromagnetic metals such as iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co). More information about magnets and their properties can be found on the technology page.
A permanent magnet, also known as a hard magnet, is a material with a wide magnetic hysteresis loop that, once magnetized, does not lose its magnetic properties. After applying the appropriate magnetic field, the magnetic domains in the material align in one direction and remain in that position even after the field is turned off. Permanent magnets have coercivity HcJ of at least 24 kA/m, and the greater the coercivity, the greater the resistance to demagnetization. Such magnets are used in motors, where resistance to demagnetization is crucial. More information about magnets can be found on the technology page.
A magnet attracts iron because iron is a ferromagnetic metal that possesses internal magnetic strength. Ferromagnetic materials like iron, nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co), have magnetic domains that direct their fields in one direction. When a magnet approaches iron, its magnetic field strengthens the magnetic fields of iron, increasing the attraction force.

Magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials are small fragments where the magnetic field is directed in one constant direction. When a magnet is brought near, it strengthens the magnetic field in selected domains, causing the remaining domains to align in one direction, making iron attracted to the magnet.
No, each pole of a magnet have identical strength.
More about poles can be found on the enes magnet page.
Magnets are frequently applied in bodywork repairs. This method relies on combining a large magnet and a ball, allowing the dents to be removed without painting. For more details on the technology page.
Neodymium magnets are durable, losing less than 1% per decade, as long as they are subjected to unfavorable conditions. Storing them in a dry environment increases their lifespan.
The sliding force of a magnet is the force required to move the magnet along a surface. It depends on friction and the magnet's strength. Check the calculator.
Magnets attract each other when their opposite poles are directed towards each other. This is the basic principle of magnetism, causing the attraction of opposite-polarized poles.
Neodymium magnets typically withstand temperatures from -130°C to up to 230°C, depending on the applied grade.
To increase the strength of the magnet, you should keep the magnet in proper conditions, use an external magnetic field, and use appropriate magnetic setups.
Neodymium magnets can retain their magnetic strength for many years, as long as they are stored in proper conditions.
Neodymium magnets have minimal power loss. Typical power loss is around 1% per decade, as long as they are stored in appropriate conditions. More information can be found in the magnet durability section.
The PKWiU code for magnets is 26.80.99, which includes magnetic products. Detailed information can be found in the PKWiU magnets section.
"Magnetization through thickness" refers to the process in which the magnetic field passes through the thickness of the magnet, rather than through the length or width. Such magnets are commonly used in technological applications, where specific magnetic orientation is required.
Blocking the magnetic field requires the use of materials like soft steel, which shield the magnetic forces. There is no material that completely blocks a magnetic field, but certain substances can reduce its effectiveness. More information can be found on the materials for blocking fields page.
Neodymium magnets are protected to prevent corrosion, especially in humid conditions. The most popular coatings are nickel and chrome, which extend the lifespan of the magnets. Learn more about coatings on the magnet coatings page.
Magnets repel each other when their similar poles are directed towards each other. This phenomenon results from the principles of electromagnetism. When the north pole of one magnet is pointing towards the north pole of another (or the south pole towards the south pole), these magnets do not attract. This is a fundamental law of magnetism.
Neodymium magnets are compounds made of neodymium, boron, and iron. Their tariff code is 8505199089. This means they are classified as magnets in the international customs coding system. It is important to note that the production of these magnets is globally widespread, with China being the main producer. Neodymium magnets are also made in countries such as the United States, Russia, and others to meet the growing demand for these exceptionally strong magnets.
The poles of a magnet can be determined using a magnetic tester or Hall sensors. Using a compass, the magnetic needle shows the north pole and S. More information can be found in the magnetic field section.

Safety

Rules for safe use of magnets, including information on potential hazards and responsible handling of magnets.

Yes, neodymium magnets are safe for health if used properly. However, it is important to note that some neodymium magnets are very strong and may be dangerous if swallowed or come into contact with the body in an inappropriate manner.
Temperature affects the strength of magnets. Neodymium magnets may weaken at high temperatures. The operating range is from -130°C to as high as 230°C, depending on the type of magnet.
Neodymium magnets are protected to increase their durability. The most commonly used coatings are three-layer, which increase resistance to moisture. Learn more in the technology section.
Neodymium magnets are not completely resistant by moisture. Long-term exposure with moist environments can lead to corrosion, unless the magnet has the proper protective layer. More on protecting magnets from moisture can be found in the moisture protection section.
Neodymium magnets are primarily composed of neodymium, iron, and boron. If they are not protected, they may corrode, especially in moist environments. To prevent this, most neodymium magnets receive a special protective layer, most commonly nickel, which protects them from oxidation. Plastic and gold coatings are less common, but also effective.
Neodymium magnets are extremely strong, far stronger than other types of magnets. Their strength creates potential risks if not used properly. In larger sizes, they can cause serious injuries, if body parts get trapped between them. Always take precautions to avoid such situations. Watch this video to see examples: YouTube.
Magnets can disrupt the operation of smartphones, especially if they are strong. They interfere with compasses, Hall sensors, and even display elements.

For safety, avoid storing your phone near strong magnets. More information can be found on the dangerous magnets page.
Mechanical work with magnets can be risky. The shavings and small particles contaminate devices, which damages the equipment. The hardness and brittleness of the material makes the process more demanding.
Most foreign objects, like magnets, are swallowed without complications and pass through the digestive tract. 80-90% of cases result in natural expulsion within a short time. If a child swallows only one magnet or coin, giving them plenty of water and bread will help with the natural expulsion. In case of swallowing two magnets, a problem may arise as they can magnets may combine in the digestive tract. In such a case, a doctor consultation is required and take an X-ray to check their location and condition.

The most important thing is to remain calm and wait for the natural process, rather than running to doctors. More information can be found on the dangerous magnets page.

Curiosities about Neodymium Magnets

Discover interesting facts about neodymium magnets – from their history to their extraordinary properties.

Neodymium magnet is not the same as the dietary supplement MAGNES – it belongs to the rare earth elements group, as neodymium is a rare earth element in the periodic table. Currently, they are considered the strongest permanent magnets available on the market. Neodymium magnets are produced by combining neodymium, iron, and boron in the structure Nd2Fe14B. These are currently the strongest permanent magnets produced on a mass scale.
The advantages of neodymium magnets:
highest energy density relative to mass,
very slow power loss – about 1% per 10 years,
cost-effective production.
The neodymium magnet was invented by Japanese scientist Sagawa Masato. He was the first to undertake research related to the magnetic properties of rare earth elements, conducting his work at Fujitsu Laboratories for about a decade. Later, moved to Sumimoto Special Metals, and it is claimed that it was there, in the early 80s, that he finally developed the technology and created the modern sintered neodymium magnet based on the compound Nd2Fe14B. Since then, there has been rapid development in this area of science.
