Magnetic properties of the material N38
Physical properties of sintered neodymium magnets Nd2Fe14B
Thanks to their high strength, flat magnets are frequently applied in structures that require strong holding power.
The standard temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80°C, but with larger dimensions, this value can increase.
Additionally, flat magnets commonly have special coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, for enhancing their strength.
The magnet with the designation MPL 5x4x1 / N38 and a magnetic strength 0.35 kg weighing just 0.15 grams, making it the perfect choice for projects needing a flat magnet.
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: These are often applied in various devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the thin and wide shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: This form's flat shape makes it easier mounting, particularly when it is required to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets permits designers greater flexibility in placing them in devices, which can be more difficult with magnets of more complex shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet can offer 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 specific application and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, may be a better choice.
Magnets have two main poles: north (N) and south (S), which attract each other when they are different. Similar poles, such as two north poles, repel each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are commonly used in electrical devices, e.g. motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the highest power of attraction, making them ideal for applications requiring powerful magnetic fields. Moreover, the strength of a magnet depends on its size and the materials used.
It’s worth noting that high temperatures can weaken the magnet's effect. Every magnetic material has its Curie point, 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, magnetic stripe cards and even electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields. Therefore, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.
Product suggestions
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to immense strength, 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 sources extremely well,
- In other words, thanks to the glossy nickel, gold, or silver finish, the element gains 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...
- The ability for precise shaping and customization to specific needs – neodymium magnets can be produced in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies their universality in usage.
- Wide application in the industry of new technologies – are utilized in HDD drives, electric motors, medical equipment and other modern machines.
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are prone to breaking as they are fragile when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to impacts, we recommend using magnets in a protective case. The steel housing in the form of a holder protects the magnet from impacts and also 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 form 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 suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic, or other moisture-resistant materials when using them outdoors,
- 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
- Possible danger arising from small pieces of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally ingested, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It's also worth noting that miniscule components of these products can complicate diagnosis after entering the body.
Be Cautious with Neodymium 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. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to GPS and smartphones.
Magnetic fields can interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in aviation and maritime navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices. There are neodymium magnets in every smartphone, for example, in the microphone and speakers.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
If the joining of neodymium magnets is not under control, then they may crumble and crack. Remember not to approach them to each other or hold them firmly in hands at a distance less than 10 cm.
Magnets made of neodymium are known for their fragility, which can cause them to crumble.
Neodymium magnets are highly delicate, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will crack. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel surface, but they are not as hard as steel. At the moment of collision between the magnets, sharp metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
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.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Despite the fact that magnets have been observed to maintain their efficacy up to temperatures of 80°C or 175°F, it's essential to consider that this threshold may fluctuate depending on the magnet's type, configuration, and intended usage.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
In the case of neodymium magnets, there is a strong magnetic field. As a result, it interferes 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.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever created, and their strength can surprise 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.
The magnet is coated with nickel. Therefore, exercise caution 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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Magnets should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for youngest children to have access to them.
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.
