Shopping tips
Moreover, even though neodymium is a component of the strongest magnets, they are prone to corrosion in humid environments. Therefore, they are coated with a coating of epoxy to protect them from corrosion. Interestingly that NdFeB neodymium magnets are about 13% lighter than SmCo magnets and, despite their power, are brittle, which requires care during their handling. Therefore, any mechanical processing should be done before they are magnetized.
In terms of safety, there are several recommendations regarding the use of these magnets. It is advisable to avoid their use in acidic, basic, organic environments or in solvents, as well as in water or oil. Additionally, they can distort data on magnetic cards and hard drives, although data deletion using a neodymium magnet is not always certain.
In terms of properties in different environments, neodymium magnets are sensitive to corrosion, especially in conditions of high humidity. Therefore, they are often covered with thin coatings, such as silver, to protect them from external factors and extend their lifespan. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in a deterioration of their magnetic strength, although there are particular types of neodymium magnets that can tolerate temperatures up to 230°C.
As for risks, it is important to avoid using neodymium magnets in acidic environments, basic conditions, organic or solvent environments, unless they are insulated. Additionally, their use is not recommended in water, oil, or in an atmosphere containing hydrogen, as they may forfeit their magnetic properties.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They have constant strength, and over more than ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They show superior resistance to demagnetization from outside magnetic sources,
- In other words, due to the glossy nickel coating, the magnet obtains an professional appearance,
- The outer field strength of the magnet shows advanced magnetic properties,
- Thanks to their exceptional temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C or more,
- Thanks to the flexibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to specific requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in various configurations, which increases their usage potential,
- Wide application in modern technologies – they serve a purpose in computer drives, electromechanical systems, clinical machines along with other advanced devices,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling strength in small dimensions, which makes them ideal in miniature devices
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, we recommend in a steel housing. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks and enhances its overall resistance,
- They lose field intensity at elevated temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent degradation in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the shape and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- They rust in a damp environment. For outdoor use, we recommend using moisture-resistant magnets, such as those made of rubber,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the challenges in manufacturing fine shapes directly in the magnet,
- Possible threat related to magnet particles may arise, in case of ingestion, which is notable in the context of child safety. It should also be noted that small elements from these devices may hinder health screening when ingested,
- Due to expensive raw materials, their cost is relatively high,
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
The given lifting capacity of the magnet represents the maximum lifting force, calculated in a perfect environment, that is:
- with mild steel, used as a magnetic flux conductor
- with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
- with a refined outer layer
- in conditions of no clearance
- under perpendicular detachment force
- at room temperature
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
The lifting capacity of a magnet is determined by in practice key elements, from primary to secondary:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, because even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) causes 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 checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.
Handle Neodymium Magnets with Caution
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to GPS and smartphones.
Neodymium magnets are a source of intense magnetic fields that cause interference with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other due to their immense internal force, causing the skin and other body parts to get pinched and resulting in significant swellings.
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 alternatively in their path when they attract. Magnets, depending on their size, are able even cut off a finger or there can be a significant pressure or even a fracture.
Do not place neodymium magnets near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
Neodymium magnets produce strong 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 damage devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Despite the general resilience of magnets, their ability to maintain their magnetic potency 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 are extremely delicate, they easily break and can become damaged.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by significant fragility. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel, but they are not as durable as steel. At the moment of connection between the magnets, sharp metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever invented. Their strength can surprise you.
Read the information on our website on how to properly utilize neodymium magnets and avoid significant harm to your body and unintentional disruption to the magnets.
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.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields. As a result, they interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This is because many of these devices are equipped with a function that deactivates the device in a magnetic field.
Neodymium magnets should not be around children.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. In the case of small magnets, they can be swallowed and cause choking. In such cases, the only solution is to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and otherwise, it can even lead to death.
