Shopping tips
Moreover, although neodymium is part of the strongest magnets, they are prone to corrosion in humid environments. Therefore, they are coated with a thin layer of nickel 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. For this reason, 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, 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 covered with thin coatings, such as gold, to preserve them from environmental factors and extend their lifespan. 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 risks, it is important to avoid using neodymium magnets in acidic environments, basic environments, 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 lose their magnetic properties.
Advantages as well as 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 attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by external field interference,
- The use of a mirror-like gold surface provides a eye-catching finish,
- They have extremely strong magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- Neodymium magnets are known for exceptionally strong magnetic induction and the ability to work at temperatures up to 230°C or higher (depending on the geometry),
- With the option for customized forming and precise design, these magnets can be produced in numerous shapes and sizes, greatly improving application potential,
- Significant impact in advanced technical fields – they are utilized in computer drives, rotating machines, diagnostic apparatus along with high-tech tools,
- Thanks to their concentrated strength, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, while occupying minimal space,
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, it is suggested to place them in a steel housing. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage and strengthens its overall resistance,
- Magnets lose magnetic efficiency when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible performance loss (influenced by the magnet’s form). To address this, we provide [AH] models with superior thermal resistance, able to operate even at 230°C or more,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is wise to use sealed magnets made of protective material for outdoor use,
- Limited ability to create threads in the magnet – the use of a external casing is recommended,
- Health risk due to small fragments may arise, especially if swallowed, which is crucial in the family environments. It should also be noted that miniature parts from these devices may hinder health screening once in the system,
- Due to a complex production process, their cost is considerably higher,
We Recommend Caution with Neodymium Magnets
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 injuries.
Neodymium magnets bounce and also touch each other mutually within a distance of several to almost 10 cm from each other.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Although magnets have demonstrated their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, the temperature can vary depending on the type, shape, and intended use of the specific magnet.
Keep neodymium magnets away from the wallet, computer, and TV.
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 videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Magnets made of neodymium are incredibly fragile, they easily crack and can crumble.
Neodymium magnets are fragile and will crack if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. Despite being made of metal as well as 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.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to GPS and smartphones.
Magnetic fields can interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in aviation and maritime navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices. There are neodymium magnets in every smartphone, for example, in the microphone and speakers.
Neodymium magnets are the most powerful, most remarkable magnets on earth, and the surprising force between them can surprise you at first.

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 happens because such devices have a function to deactivate them in a magnetic field.
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.
The magnet is coated with nickel - be careful if you have an allergy.
Studies show a small percentage of people have allergies to certain metals, including 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.
It is important to keep neodymium magnets away from youngest children.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. In such a situation, surgery is necessary to remove them. In the worst case scenario, it can result in death.
