Magnetic properties of the material N38
Physical properties of sintered neodymium magnets Nd2Fe14B
Due to their power, flat magnets are commonly used in structures that need strong holding power.
Most common temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80 °C, but with larger dimensions, this value grows.
Moreover, flat magnets usually have special coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, for enhancing their durability.
The magnet with the designation MPL 40x20x4x2[7/3.5] / N38 i.e. a magnetic strength 8.93 kg which weighs only 24.00 grams, making it the ideal choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a greater contact surface with other components, which is beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often used in various devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is crucial for their operation.
Mounting: The flat form's flat shape simplifies 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 a lot of flexibility in arranging them in structures, which is more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In some applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may provide better stability, reducing the risk of sliding or rotating. However, it's important to note that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the specific application and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, are more appropriate.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are oppositely oriented. Poles of the same kind, e.g. two north poles, act repelling on each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are regularly 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 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. Additionally, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as compasses, credit cards and even electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields. Therefore, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to immense power, neodymium magnets have the following advantages:
- They do not lose power over time. After approximately 10 years, their power 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 have exceptionally 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...
- Due to the option of accurate forming or adaptation to individual needs – neodymium magnets can be produced in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which enhances their versatility in applications.
- Significant importance in advanced technologically fields – are used in computer drives, electric drive mechanisms, medical apparatus or various technologically advanced devices.
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a strong 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 at the same time 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 shape and height). However, we also offer special magnets with high temperature resistance, up to 230°C,
- They rust in a humid environment - during outdoor use, we recommend using waterproof magnets, such as those made of rubber or plastic,
- Limited ability to create threads or complex shapes in the magnet - the use of a housing is recommended - magnetic holder
- Potential hazard associated with microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally ingested, which is particularly important in the context of children's health. It's also worth noting that small elements of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis when they are in the body.
Handle with Care: Neodymium Magnets
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
Do not bring neodymium magnets close to GPS and smartphones.
Magnetic fields interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation for air and sea transport, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever created, and their strength can shock you.
Read the information on our website on how to properly utilize neodymium magnets and avoid significant harm to your body and unintentional damage to the magnets.
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
The strong magnetic field generated by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, etc. devices. They can also destroy videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets away from these electronic devices.
It is important to keep neodymium magnets out of reach 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.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a heart pacemaker. However, if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the device when it is in a magnetic field.
Magnets will attract to each other, so remember not to allow them to pinch together without control or place your fingers in their path.
If you have a finger between or on the path of attracting magnets, there may be a serious cut or a fracture.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized 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.
Neodymium magnetic are extremely fragile, resulting in shattering.
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 pieces can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
The magnet is coated with nickel - be careful if you have an 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.
