Magnetic properties of the material N38
Physical properties of sintered neodymium magnets Nd2Fe14B
Due to their strength, flat magnets are commonly used in products that need exceptional adhesion.
The standard temperature resistance of these magnets is 80 °C, but with larger dimensions, this value grows.
Additionally, flat magnets often have special coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their corrosion resistance.
The magnet labeled MPL 10x5x1.5 / N38 i.e. a magnetic strength 0.84 kg with a weight of a mere 0.56 grams, making it the ideal choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a greater contact surface with adjacent parts, which is beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often applied in different devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is necessary for their operation.
Mounting: The flat form's flat shape makes mounting, particularly when it is required to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets gives the possibility designers greater flexibility in arranging them in structures, which is more difficult with magnets of more complex shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may provide better stability, minimizing the risk of shifting or rotating. However, one should remember that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the specific project and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, may be a better choice.
Magnets have two main poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are different. Poles of the same kind, e.g. two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are often used in magnetic technologies, e.g. motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the greatest strength of attraction, making them perfect for applications requiring powerful magnetic fields. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions and the material it is made of.
It’s worth noting that extremely high temperatures, above the Curie point, cause a loss of magnetic properties in the magnet. The Curie temperature is specific to each type of magnet, meaning that under such conditions, the magnet stops being magnetic. Additionally, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as navigational instruments, credit cards or medical equipment, like pacemakers. For this reason, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to immense power, neodymium magnets have the following advantages:
- They do not lose strength over time. After 10 years, their power decreases by only ~1% (theoretically),
- They are highly resistant to demagnetization by external magnetic field,
- By applying a shiny coating of nickel, gold, or silver, the element gains an aesthetic appearance,
- They exhibit very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- By using an appropriate combination of materials, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing them to operate at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to the flexibility in shaping and the ability to adapt to specific requirements – neodymium magnets can be produced in various forms and dimensions, which expands the range of their possible uses.
- Wide application in advanced technologically fields – find application in computer drives, electric drive mechanisms, medical equipment or various technologically advanced devices.
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are prone to breaking as they are extremely fragile when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to impacts, it is suggested using magnets in a metal holder. The steel housing in the form of a holder protects the magnet from impacts and also increases its overall strength,
- They lose power at high temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent loss of strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the form and height). However, we also offer special magnets with high temperature resistance, up to 230°C,
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore, when using them outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic, or other moisture-resistant materials,
- The use of a cover - a magnetic holder is recommended due to the limited production capabilities of creating threads or complex shapes in the magnet
- Health risk to health from tiny fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally ingested, which becomes significant in the aspect of protecting young children. Additionally, small elements of these magnets have the potential to complicate diagnosis after entering the body.
Be Cautious with Neodymium Magnets
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Do not attempt to drill into neodymium magnets. Mechanical processing is also not recommended. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized 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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Neodymium magnets produce intense magnetic fields that can destroy magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, or other devices. They can also destroy videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Neodymium Magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
If have a finger between or alternatively on the path of attracting magnets, there may be a large cut or a fracture.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever invented. Their strength can surprise 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.
The magnet coating contains nickel, so be cautious if you have a nickel allergy.
Studies show a small percentage of people have allergies to certain metals, including 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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate very strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This happens because such devices have a function to deactivate them in a magnetic field.
It is essential to maintain neodymium magnets out of reach from children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play with them. They can be a significant choking hazard. If multiple magnets are swallowed, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls, causing severe injuries, and even death.
Neodymium magnets are particularly delicate, resulting in their breakage.
Neodymium magnetic are extremely delicate, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will crumble. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel surface, but they are not as hard as steel. In the event of a collision between two magnets, there may be a scattering of fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is crucial in such a situation.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.
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.
