Magnetic properties of the material N38
Physical properties of sintered neodymium magnets Nd2Fe14B
Due to their power, flat magnets are commonly applied in devices that require exceptional adhesion.
Typical temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80°C, but depending on the dimensions, this value grows.
Moreover, flat magnets often have special coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to improve their corrosion resistance.
The magnet with the designation MPL 20x10x2 / N38 and a magnetic force 2.23 kg with a weight of a mere 3.00 grams, making it the ideal choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a greater contact surface with other components, which can be beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These magnets are often applied in different devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is crucial for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape makes mounting, particularly when there's a need to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows creators a lot of flexibility in arranging them in devices, which can be more difficult with magnets of more complex shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may offer better stability, reducing the risk of sliding or rotating. It’s important to keep in mind that the optimal shape of the magnet is dependent on the specific project and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, may be more appropriate.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which attract each other when they are oppositely oriented. Poles of the same kind, e.g. two north poles, repel each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are regularly used in magnetic technologies, e.g. motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the greatest strength of attraction, making them indispensable for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions and the material it is made of.
It should be noted that extremely high temperatures, above the Curie point, cause a loss of magnetic properties in the magnet. Every magnetic material has its Curie point, meaning that under such conditions, the magnet stops being magnetic. Interestingly, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as compasses, credit cards or electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields. For this reason, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from immense power, neodymium magnets have the following advantages:
- They do not lose their strength (of the magnet). After about 10 years, their strength decreases by only ~1% (theoretically),
- They protect against demagnetization caused by external magnetic field very well,
- In other words, thanks to the shiny coating of nickel, gold, or silver, the element acquires an aesthetic appearance,
- They exhibit very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- Magnetic neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet and can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures of 230°C or higher...
- Thanks to the flexibility in shaping and the ability to adapt to specific requirements – neodymium magnets can be produced in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of their possible uses.
- Significant importance in modern technologies – find application in computer drives, electric motors, medical apparatus and other modern machines.
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to impacts, we recommend using magnets in a protective case. The steel housing in the form of a holder protects the magnet from impacts, and at the same time increases its overall strength,
- Magnets lose their power due to exposure to high temperatures. In most cases, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, these magnets experience permanent loss in strength (although it is worth noting that this is dependent on the shape and size of the magnet). To avoid this problem, we offer special magnets marked with the [AH] symbol, which exhibit high temperature resistance. They can operate even at temperatures as high as 230°C or more,
- Due to their susceptibility to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic, or other moisture-resistant materials when using them outdoors,
- The use of a cover or a magnetic holder is recommended due to the limited possibilities of manufacturing threads or complex shapes in the magnet
- Potential hazard to health from tiny fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting young children. It's also worth noting that miniscule components of these magnets can be problematic in medical diagnosis when they are in the body.
Handle Neodymium Magnets Carefully
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Although magnets have demonstrated their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, the temperature can vary depending on the type, shape, and intended use of the specific magnet.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
It is important to maintain neodymium magnets out of reach from children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Be cautious and make sure no child plays with them. In the case of swallowing multiple magnets simultaneously, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls. In the worst case scenario, this can lead to death.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
Neodymium magnets jump and also touch each other mutually within a distance of several to almost 10 cm from each other.
Neodymium magnets are delicate and can easily crack as well as get damaged.
In the event of a collision between two neodymium magnets, it can result in them getting chipped. Despite being made of metal as well as coated with a shiny nickel plating, they are not as hard as steel. At the moment of connection between the magnets, tiny sharp metal fragments can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times stronger, and their power 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 should not be near people with pacemakers.
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.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to GPS and smartphones.
Magnetic fields can interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in aviation and maritime navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices. There are neodymium magnets in every smartphone, for example, in the microphone and speakers.
Keep neodymium magnets away from the wallet, computer, and TV.
The strong magnetic field generated by neodymium magnets can destroy magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, etc. devices. They can also destroy devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets away from these electronic devices.
