Shopping tips
Moreover, although neodymium is part of the strongest magnets, they are prone to corrosion in humid environments. For this reason, they are coated with a coating of nickel to protect them from corrosion. It's worth noting that NdFeB neodymium magnets are about 13% lighter than SmCo magnets and, despite their power, are brittle, which requires care during their handling. For this reason, any mechanical processing should be done before they are magnetized.
In terms of safety, there are several recommendations regarding the use of these magnets. They should not be used 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 guaranteed.
In terms of properties in different environments, neodymium magnets are susceptible to corrosion, especially in conditions of high humidity. Therefore, they are often coated with coatings, such as nickel, to protect them from environmental factors and prolong their durability. Temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a deterioration of their magnetic properties, although there are particular types of neodymium magnets that can tolerate temperatures up to 230°C.
As for dangers, it is important to avoid using neodymium magnets in acidic environments, basic conditions, organic or solvent environments, unless they are adequately insulated. Additionally, their use is not recommended in water, oil, or in an environment containing hydrogen, as they may forfeit their magnetic strength.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They have constant strength, and over more than 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They show strong resistance to demagnetization from external field exposure,
- Because of the brilliant layer of nickel, the component looks aesthetically refined,
- They possess significant magnetic force measurable at the magnet’s surface,
- These magnets tolerate elevated temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to profile),
- Thanks to the possibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to individual requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in various configurations, which broadens their functional possibilities,
- Important function in new technology industries – they serve a purpose in HDDs, electric drives, diagnostic apparatus as well as high-tech tools,
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, while occupying minimal space,
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They may fracture when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, we recommend in a steel housing. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage and strengthens its overall durability,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the strength of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent decline in performance (depending on size). To prevent this, we offer heat-resistant magnets marked [AH], capable of working up to 230°C, which makes them perfect for high-temperature use,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is recommended to use sealed magnets made of plastic for outdoor use,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining threads in neodymium magnets is risky,
- Safety concern related to magnet particles may arise, especially if swallowed, which is important in the health of young users. It should also be noted that minuscule fragments from these magnets may complicate medical imaging after being swallowed,
- Higher purchase price is one of the drawbacks compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?
The given pulling force of the magnet represents the maximum force, determined in ideal conditions, that is:
- using a steel plate with low carbon content, acting as a magnetic circuit closure
- with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
- with a smooth surface
- with zero air gap
- in a perpendicular direction of force
- at room temperature
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
In practice, the holding capacity of a magnet is affected by the following aspects, arranged from the most important to the least relevant:
- 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.
* Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a small distance {between} the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Exercise Caution with 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.
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.
Neodymium magnets should not be in the vicinity children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play with them. In the case of swallowing multiple magnets simultaneously, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls. In the worst case scenario, this can lead to death.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Even though 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.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever created, and their power 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.
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.
Magnets made of neodymium are highly susceptible to damage, resulting in shattering.
Magnets made of neodymium are highly fragile, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will break. Magnets made of neodymium 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, small metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
The magnet is coated with nickel - be careful 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, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be placed 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. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets are primarily characterized by their significant internal force. They attract to each other, and any object that comes in their way will be affected.
If you have a finger between or on the path of attracting magnets, there may be a serious cut or a fracture.
