Magnetic properties of the material N38
Physical properties of sintered neodymium magnets Nd2Fe14B
Thanks to their high strength, flat magnets are commonly used in products that need exceptional adhesion.
The standard temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80°C, but depending on the dimensions, this value rises.
Moreover, flat magnets commonly have special coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their corrosion resistance.
The magnet with the designation MPL 20x8x6 / N38 i.e. a magnetic strength 5.99 kg with a weight of only 7.20 grams, making it the excellent choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
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 used in different devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape makes it easier mounting, particularly when it is required to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets gives the possibility creators greater flexibility in arranging them in devices, which is more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In some applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may provide better stability, minimizing the risk of sliding or rotating. However, it's important to note that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the given use and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, may be a better choice.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are oppositely oriented. Poles of the same kind, such as two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are often used in electrical devices, e.g. motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the greatest strength of attraction, making them ideal for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions and the materials used.
It’s worth noting that high temperatures can weaken the magnet's effect. The Curie temperature is specific to each type of magnet, meaning that under such conditions, the magnet stops being magnetic. Interestingly, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as compasses, magnetic stripe cards and even medical equipment, like pacemakers. Therefore, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to immense strength, neodymium magnets have the following advantages:
- They do not lose their strength (of the magnet). After approximately 10 years, their power decreases by only ~1% (theoretically),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization by external magnetic sources,
- By applying a shiny coating of nickel, gold, or silver, the element gains an aesthetic appearance,
- They have very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- Thanks to their high temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- The ability for precise shaping or customization to specific needs – neodymium magnets can be produced in various forms and dimensions, which amplifies their universality in usage.
- Significant importance in the industry of new technologies – are used in hard drives, electric drive mechanisms, medical apparatus or very modern machines.
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They can break as they are extremely fragile when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to impacts, it is suggested using magnets in a protective case. The steel housing in the form of a holder protects the magnet from impacts and simultaneously increases its overall strength,
- High temperatures can reduce the strength of neodymium magnets. Typically, after heating above 80°C, most of them experience a permanent loss in strength (although it is dependent on the form and size). To prevent this, we offer special magnets marked with the symbol [AH], which are highly resistant to high temperatures. They can operate even at temperatures up to 230°C, making them an ideal solution for applications requiring high-temperature operation,
- 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 or a magnetic holder is recommended due to the limited possibilities of manufacturing threads or complex shapes in the magnet
- Health risk arising from small pieces of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is crucial in the context of children's health. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products can be problematic in medical diagnosis after entering the body.
Precautions
Keep neodymium magnets away from people with pacemakers.
In the case of neodymium magnets, there is a strong magnetic field. As a result, it interferes 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 placed near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
Magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other similar devices. They can also damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
Neodymium magnetic are noted for being fragile, which can cause them to crumble.
Neodymium magnetic are fragile as well as will break if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. They are coated with a shiny nickel plating similar to steel, but they are not as hard. At the moment of connection between the magnets, small sharp metal fragments can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
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.
If joining of neodymium magnets is not under control, then they may crumble and also crack. Remember not to move them to each other or have them firmly in hands at a distance less than 10 cm.
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 GPS and smartphones.
Neodymium magnets are a source of intense magnetic fields that cause interference with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Neodymium magnets are the most powerful magnets ever invented. Their strength can surprise you.
To use magnets properly, it is best to familiarize yourself with our information beforehand. This will help you avoid significant harm to your body and the magnets themselves.
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.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Although magnets have shown to retain their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, this temperature may vary depending on the type of material, shape, and intended use of the magnet.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly 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.
