Magnetic properties of the material N38
Physical properties of sintered neodymium magnets Nd2Fe14B
Due to their strength, flat magnets are commonly used in devices that require exceptional adhesion.
Typical temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80°C, but with larger dimensions, this value rises.
Additionally, flat magnets commonly have different coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their strength.
The magnet labeled MPL 20x8x4 / N38 i.e. a magnetic force 4.00 kg which weighs just 4.80 grams, making it the excellent choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a larger contact surface with other components, which is beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These magnets are often used in various devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is crucial for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape simplifies mounting, especially when it is required to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows creators greater flexibility in arranging them in structures, which is more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may offer better stability, minimizing the risk of sliding or rotating. However, one should remember that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the specific application 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 oppositely oriented. Similar poles, e.g. two north poles, repel each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are regularly used in magnetic technologies, e.g. motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the highest power of attraction, making them perfect 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 high temperatures can weaken the magnet's effect. Every magnetic material has its Curie point, meaning that under such conditions, the magnet stops being magnetic. Additionally, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as navigational instruments, magnetic stripe cards and even electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields. For this reason, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to immense strength, neodymium magnets have the following advantages:
- They do not lose their power (of the magnet). After approximately 10 years, their strength decreases by only ~1% (theoretically),
- They are highly resistant to demagnetization by external magnetic sources,
- In other words, thanks to the shiny coating of nickel, gold, or silver, the element acquires an aesthetic appearance,
- They have 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 shape) even at temperatures of 230°C or higher...
- Due to the option of accurate forming and adaptation to individual needs – neodymium magnets can be produced in various forms and dimensions, which enhances their versatility in applications.
- Significant importance in the industry of new technologies – find application in computer drives, electric motors, medical devices or other highly developed apparatuses.
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are prone to breaking as they are fragile when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to impacts, we recommend using magnets in a steel housing. The steel housing in the form of a holder protects the magnet from impacts and also increases its overall strength,
- They lose strength at high temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent loss of strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the shape and height). However, we also offer special magnets with high temperature resistance, up to 230°C,
- 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 - a magnetic holder is recommended due to the limited production capabilities of creating threads or complex shapes in the magnet
- Health risk associated with microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is crucial in the context of child safety. It's also worth noting that miniscule components of these devices have the potential to hinder the diagnostic process after entering the body.
Be Cautious with Neodymium Magnets
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 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 also clash mutually within a distance of several to almost 10 cm from each other.
If you have a nickel allergy, avoid contact with neodymium magnets.
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.
Maintain neodymium magnets away from children.
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.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields. As a result, they interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This is because many of these devices are equipped with a function that deactivates the device in a magnetic field.
Neodymium magnets are the most powerful magnets ever invented. Their strength can shock you.
Familiarize yourself with our information to properly handle these magnets and avoid significant injuries to your body and prevent damage to the magnets.
Magnets made of neodymium are fragile as well as can easily crack and shatter.
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.
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
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 devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets away from these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Under specific conditions, Neodymium magnets may experience demagnetization when subjected to high temperatures.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought 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.
