Magnetic properties of the material N38
Physical properties of sintered neodymium magnets Nd2Fe14B
Thanks to their high strength, flat magnets are commonly applied in products that need exceptional adhesion.
The standard temperature resistance of these magnets is 80°C, but with larger dimensions, this value rises.
Moreover, flat magnets often have different coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, for enhancing their corrosion resistance.
The magnet named MPL 30x20x4 / N38 i.e. a lifting capacity of 7.73 kg with a weight of just 18.00 grams, making it the excellent choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a larger contact surface with other components, which is beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often used in many devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is crucial for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape makes it easier mounting, especially when it is necessary to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows designers greater flexibility in arranging them in structures, which can be more difficult with magnets of more complex shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may provide better stability, reducing the risk of sliding or rotating. It’s important to keep in mind that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the specific project and requirements. In some 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, such as two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are often used in electrical devices, e.g. motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the highest power of attraction, making them perfect for applications requiring powerful magnetic fields. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its size and the materials used.
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 once this temperature is exceeded, the magnet stops being magnetic. Interestingly, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as compasses, credit cards or medical equipment, like pacemakers. For this reason, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from 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 highly resistant to demagnetization by external magnetic sources,
- Thanks to the shiny finish and nickel, gold, or silver coating, they have an aesthetic appearance,
- They possess 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...
- Due to the option of accurate forming and adaptation to individual needs – neodymium magnets can be produced in many variants of shapes and sizes, which amplifies their universality in usage.
- Significant importance in advanced technologically fields – are utilized in HDD drives, electric motors, medical equipment or various technologically advanced devices.
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to impacts, we recommend using magnets in a metal holder. 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 strength due to exposure to high temperatures. In most cases, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, these magnets experience permanent reduction in strength (although it is worth noting that this is dependent on the form 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,
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore, when using them outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic, or other moisture-resistant materials,
- Limited ability to create threads or complex shapes in the magnet - the use of a housing is recommended - magnetic holder
- Possible danger arising from small pieces of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally ingested, which is crucial in the context of children's health. It's also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets can complicate diagnosis in case of swallowing.
Be Cautious with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Despite the general resilience of magnets, their ability to retain their magnetic strength can be influenced by factors like the type of material used, the magnet's shape, and the intended purpose for which it is employed.
Neodymium magnets should not be around youngest children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. In such a situation, surgery is necessary to remove them. In the worst case scenario, it can result in death.
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.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
Neodymium magnets will jump and clash together within a radius of several to around 10 cm from each other.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever invented. Their strength can shock you.
To handle 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.
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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Do not bring neodymium magnets close to GPS and smartphones.
Neodymium magnets produce intense magnetic fields that interfere with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Neodymium magnets are especially delicate, which leads to damage.
Neodymium magnetic are fragile as well as will crack 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. 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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
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, etc. devices. They can also destroy devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
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.
