Shopping tips
Moreover, although neodymium is part of the strongest magnets, they are susceptible to corrosion in humid environments. For this reason, they are coated with a thin layer of nickel to increase their durability. It's worth noting that NdFeB neodymium magnets are about 13% lighter than SmCo magnets and, despite their power, are brittle, which requires special caution during their handling. Therefore, any mechanical processing should be done before they are magnetized.
In terms of safety, there are many recommendations regarding the use of these magnets. They should not be used in acidic, basic, organic environments or where solvents are present, and also in water or oil. Furthermore, they can distort data on magnetic cards and hard drives, although data deletion using a neodymium magnet is not guaranteed.
In terms of properties in different environments, neodymium magnets are sensitive to corrosion, especially in humid conditions. Therefore, they are often covered with coatings, such as nickel, to shield them from external factors and extend their lifespan. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a loss of their magnetic properties, although there are particular types of neodymium magnets that can withstand temperatures up to 230°C.
As for potential dangers, it is important to avoid using neodymium magnets in acidic environments, basic conditions, organic or solvent environments, unless they are properly protected. Additionally, their use is not recommended in water, oil, or in an environment containing hydrogen, as they may forfeit their magnetic properties.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
- They retain their magnetic properties for nearly ten years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to magnetic surroundings,
- Thanks to the glossy finish and silver coating, they have an elegant appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is impressively powerful,
- They are suitable for high-temperature applications, operating effectively at 230°C+ due to advanced heat resistance and form-specific properties,
- With the option for fine forming and personalized design, these magnets can be produced in numerous shapes and sizes, greatly improving application potential,
- Wide application in cutting-edge sectors – they find application in data storage devices, electromechanical systems, clinical machines along with technologically developed systems,
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, with minimal size,
Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, it is suggested to place them in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage and reinforces its overall robustness,
- They lose magnetic force at high temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent reduction in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the geometry and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is recommended to use sealed magnets made of synthetic coating for outdoor use,
- Limited ability to create precision features in the magnet – the use of a mechanical support is recommended,
- Possible threat related to magnet particles may arise, in case of ingestion, which is significant in the protection of children. It should also be noted that minuscule fragments from these devices can disrupt scanning if inside the body,
- Due to expensive raw materials, their cost is considerably higher,
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?
The given strength of the magnet represents the optimal strength, measured in the best circumstances, that is:
- using a steel plate with low carbon content, acting as a magnetic circuit closure
- of a thickness of at least 10 mm
- with a refined outer layer
- with zero air gap
- under perpendicular detachment force
- under standard ambient temperature
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
Practical lifting force is determined by elements, by priority:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, because even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drop in lifting force of up to 50%.
- Direction of applied force, because the maximum lifting capacity is achieved under perpendicular application. The force required to slide the magnet along the plate is usually several times lower.
- Thickness of the plate, as a plate that is too thin causes part of the magnetic flux not to be used and to remain wasted in the air.
- Material of the plate, because higher carbon content lowers holding force, while higher iron content increases it. The best choice is steel with high magnetic permeability and high saturation induction.
- Surface of the plate, because the more smooth and polished it is, the better the contact and consequently the greater the magnetic saturation.
- Operating temperature, since all permanent magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. This means that at high temperatures they are weaker, while at sub-zero temperatures they become slightly stronger.
* Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a slight gap {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Be Cautious with Neodymium Magnets
Keep neodymium magnets far from youngest children.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. Small magnets pose a serious choking hazard or can attract to each other in the intestines. In such cases, the only solution is to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and otherwise, it can even lead to death.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are 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.
Neodymium magnets should not be near people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate very strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This happens because such devices have a function to deactivate them in a magnetic field.
Keep neodymium magnets as far away as possible from 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.
The magnet coating is made of nickel, so be cautious if you have an allergy.
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.
You should keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
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.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Despite the fact that magnets have been found 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.
Magnets made of neodymium are especially fragile, resulting in shattering.
Magnets made of neodymium are delicate and will shatter 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, tiny sharp metal pieces can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
Magnets will attract to each other, so remember not to allow them to pinch together without control or place your fingers in their path.
Neodymium magnets bounce and also clash mutually within a distance of several to almost 10 cm from each other.
Neodymium magnets are among the strongest magnets on Earth. The astonishing force they generate between each other can surprise you.
