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 silver to protect them from corrosion. It's worth noting that NdFeB neodymium magnets are about 13% lighter than SmCo magnets and, despite their power, easily break, which requires special caution 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. Furthermore, 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 susceptible to corrosion, especially in humid conditions. Therefore, they are often covered with thin coatings, such as epoxy, to shield them from external factors and prolong their durability. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in a reduction of their magnetic properties, although there are specific types of neodymium magnets that can withstand temperatures up to 230°C.
As for dangers, it is important to avoid using neodymium magnets in acidic conditions, basic environments, organic or solvent environments, unless they are insulated. Additionally, their use is not recommended in wet conditions, oil, or in an atmosphere containing hydrogen, as they may lose their magnetic properties.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years, the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- Their ability to resist magnetic interference from external fields is notable,
- In other words, due to the shiny silver coating, the magnet obtains an stylish appearance,
- They exhibit elevated levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- These magnets tolerate elevated temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to profile),
- The ability for precise shaping as well as adaptation to specific needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in multiple variants of geometries, which extends the scope of their use cases,
- Key role in modern technologies – they find application in computer drives, electric motors, clinical machines along with sophisticated instruments,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling strength in small dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions
Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, we recommend in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage while also enhances its overall durability,
- They lose field intensity at elevated 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,
- Magnets exposed to moisture can corrode. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we advise waterproof types made of plastic,
- Limited ability to create precision features in the magnet – the use of a external casing is recommended,
- Possible threat linked to microscopic shards may arise, especially if swallowed, which is important in the protection of children. It should also be noted that minuscule fragments from these products can complicate medical imaging once in the system,
- In cases of tight budgets, neodymium magnet cost is a challenge,
Handle Neodymium Magnets with Caution
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
If have a finger between or on the path of attracting magnets, there may be a serious cut or a fracture.
Neodymium magnetic are highly susceptible to damage, leading to shattering.
Neodymium magnets are fragile as well as will shatter if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. Despite being made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel plating, they are not as hard as steel. In the case of a collision between two magnets, there can be a scattering of small sharp metal fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is essential.
Keep neodymium magnets away from youngest children.
Remember that 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.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
Neodymium magnets are among the most powerful magnets on Earth. The surprising force they generate between each other 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.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to GPS and smartphones.
Magnetic fields interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation for air and sea transport, 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.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can interfere 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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
Magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other similar devices. They can also damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Whilst Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures, it's important to note that the extent of this effect can vary based on factors such as the magnet's material, shape, and intended application.
