Magnetic properties of the material N38
Physical properties of sintered neodymium magnets Nd2Fe14B
Due to their strength, flat magnets are frequently applied in structures that require exceptional adhesion.
The standard temperature resistance of these magnets is 80 °C, but with larger dimensions, this value rises.
Moreover, flat magnets often have special coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, for enhancing their corrosion resistance.
The magnet with the designation MPL 40x20x5 / N38 i.e. a magnetic strength 11.17 kg with a weight of a mere 30.00 grams, making it the perfect choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a greater contact surface with adjacent parts, which is beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These are often used in different devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is necessary for their operation.
Mounting: This form's flat shape makes mounting, especially when there's a need to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets permits designers greater flexibility in arranging them in devices, which is 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 shifting or rotating. However, one should remember that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the specific project and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, may be a better choice.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which attract each other when they are different. Poles of the same kind, e.g. two north poles, repel each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are often used in electrical devices, such as motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the greatest strength of attraction, making them ideal for applications requiring powerful magnetic fields. Additionally, 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. The Curie temperature is specific to each type of magnet, meaning that once this temperature is exceeded, the magnet stops being magnetic. Additionally, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as navigational instruments, credit cards or electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields. For this reason, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.

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 form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to the flexibility in shaping or the ability to adapt to specific requirements – neodymium magnets can be produced in many variants of shapes and sizes, which enhances their versatility in applications.
- Significant importance in advanced technologically fields – find application in computer drives, electric motors, medical devices and 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,
- 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 recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic, or other moisture-resistant materials,
- 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
- Potential hazard to health from tiny fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes significant in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets can complicate diagnosis after entering the body.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium Magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
Magnets will attract each other within a distance of several to around 10 cm from each other. Remember not to place fingers between magnets or in their path when attract. Magnets, depending on their size, are able even cut off a finger or there can be a severe pressure or even a fracture.
Do not place neodymium magnets near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from GPS and smartphones.
Strong fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Neodymium magnets are over 10 times stronger than ferrite magnets (the ones in speakers), and their strength 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.
Maintain neodymium magnets far from 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 magnetic are characterized by being fragile, which can cause them to shatter.
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. 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.
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 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.
If you have a nickel allergy, avoid contact with neodymium magnets.
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.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
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.
