Shopping tips
Moreover, although neodymium is a component of the strongest magnets, they are prone to corrosion in humid environments. For this reason, they are coated with a thin layer of epoxy 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. 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. It is advisable to avoid their use in acidic, basic, organic environments or in solvents, and also in water or oil. Additionally, they can damage 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 humid conditions. Therefore, they are often covered with thin coatings, such as silver, to preserve them from external factors and extend their lifespan. Temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a loss 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 adequately insulated. Additionally, their use is not recommended in water, oil, or in an environment containing hydrogen, as they may lose their magnetic properties.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their remarkable strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- Their strength remains stable, and after around 10 years, it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by ambient magnetic fields effectively,
- Because of the lustrous layer of nickel, the component looks high-end,
- They exhibit elevated levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- These magnets tolerate extreme temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to profile),
- The ability for custom shaping and customization to specific needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in many forms and dimensions, which amplifies their functionality across industries,
- Significant impact in advanced technical fields – they serve a purpose in HDDs, electromechanical systems, diagnostic apparatus or even high-tech tools,
- Thanks to their efficiency per volume, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, in miniature format,
Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, they should be placed in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage , and at the same time enhances its overall resistance,
- They lose magnetic force at high 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. If exposed to rain, we recommend using sealed magnets, such as those made of rubber,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining threads in neodymium magnets is difficult,
- Safety concern related to magnet particles may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is notable in the health of young users. Additionally, miniature parts from these magnets can hinder health screening if inside the body,
- In cases of mass production, neodymium magnet cost is a challenge,
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?
The given holding capacity of the magnet means the highest holding force, assessed under optimal conditions, namely:
- with mild steel, serving as a magnetic flux conductor
- of a thickness of at least 10 mm
- with a smooth surface
- in conditions of no clearance
- in a perpendicular direction of force
- under standard ambient temperature
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
The lifting capacity of a magnet is influenced by in practice key elements, ordered from most important to least significant:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, as 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.
* Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate very strong magnetic fields that can 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.
It is important to maintain neodymium magnets away from youngest 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.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to GPS and smartphones.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields that interfere with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Do not attempt to drill into neodymium magnets. Mechanical processing is also not recommended. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by being fragile, which can cause them to become damaged.
In the event of a collision between two neodymium magnets, it can result in them getting chipped. 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.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be placed near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
Strong magnetic fields emitted by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other devices. They can also damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever invented. Their power can shock you.
Please review the information on how to handle neodymium magnets and avoid significant harm to your body, as well as prevent unintentional damage to the magnets.
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.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Although magnets have shown to retain their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, this temperature may vary depending on the type of material, shape, and intended use of the magnet.
Magnets will attract to each other, so remember not to allow them to pinch together without control or place your fingers in their path.
Magnets attract each other within a distance of several to around 10 cm from each other. Don't put your fingers in the path of magnet attraction, because a significant injury may occur. Depending on how massive the neodymium magnets are, they can lead to a cut or a fracture.
