Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their remarkable strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years, the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to strong external fields,
- In other words, due to the glossy nickel coating, the magnet obtains an aesthetic appearance,
- They have very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- With the right combination of magnetic alloys, they reach significant thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the form),
- The ability for custom shaping as well as adaptation to individual needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which extends the scope of their use cases,
- Key role in new technology industries – they find application in hard drives, electric drives, healthcare devices and high-tech tools,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling strength in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a heavy impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, it is advisable to use in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage , and at the same time reinforces its overall robustness,
- Magnets lose field strength when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible performance loss (influenced by the magnet’s form). To address this, we provide [AH] models with superior thermal resistance, able to operate even at 230°C or more,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is common to use sealed magnets made of synthetic coating for outdoor use,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining internal cuts in neodymium magnets is risky,
- Safety concern linked to microscopic shards may arise, in case of ingestion, which is important in the health of young users. Furthermore, small elements from these assemblies can hinder health screening once in the system,
- High unit cost – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g., ferrite), which increases the cost of large-scale applications
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets are among the strongest magnets on Earth. The astonishing force they generate between each other can shock you.
On our website, you can find information on how to use neodymium magnets. This will help you avoid injuries and prevent damage to the magnets.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Despite the fact that magnets have been found to maintain their efficacy up to temperatures of 80°C or 175°F, it's essential to consider that this threshold may fluctuate depending on the magnet's type, configuration, and intended usage.
You should keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Neodymium magnets produce intense magnetic fields that can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, or other devices. They can also damage devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets away from these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by being fragile, which can cause them to become damaged.
In the event of a collision between two neodymium magnets, it can result in them getting chipped. Despite being made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel plating, they are not as hard as steel. In the case of a collision between two magnets, there can be a scattering of small sharp metal fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is essential.
Magnets should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for children to have access to them.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. In such a situation, surgery is necessary to remove them. In the worst case scenario, it can result in death.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Do not attempt to drill into neodymium magnets. Mechanical processing is also not recommended. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a heart pacemaker. Even if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the entire device.
It is crucial not to allow the magnets to pinch together uncontrollably or place your fingers in their path as they attract to each other.
Neodymium magnets jump and touch each other mutually within a radius of several to around 10 cm from each other.
Do not bring neodymium magnets close to GPS and smartphones.
Intense magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
The magnet coating contains nickel, so be cautious if you have a nickel allergy.
Studies clearly indicate a small percentage of people who suffer from metal allergies such as nickel. An allergic reaction often manifests as skin redness and rash. If you have a nickel allergy, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
