Shopping tips
Moreover, although neodymium is part of the strongest magnets, they are susceptible to corrosion in humid environments. Therefore, they are coated with a thin layer of nickel to increase their durability. Interestingly 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 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 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 conditions of high humidity. Therefore, they are often coated with coatings, such as gold, to preserve them from external factors and prolong their durability. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in a reduction of their magnetic strength, although there are particular 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 adequately insulated. Additionally, their use is not recommended in water, oil, or in an environment containing hydrogen, as they may lose their magnetic strength.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over nearly 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They are very resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the polished finish and gold coating, they have an elegant appearance,
- They exhibit extremely high levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- Thanks to their enhanced temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the geometry) even at temperatures up to 230°C or more,
- The ability for accurate shaping as well as adaptation to individual needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies their functionality across industries,
- Significant impact in advanced technical fields – they are used in hard drives, rotating machines, healthcare devices or even high-tech tools,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer strong power in small dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices
Disadvantages of magnetic elements:
- They are fragile when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, it is suggested to place them in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture and reinforces its overall durability,
- They lose magnetic force at extreme temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent degradation 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 oxidize. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we advise waterproof types made of rubber,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the challenges in manufacturing holes directly in the magnet,
- Potential hazard related to magnet particles may arise, especially if swallowed, which is notable in the protection of children. Furthermore, tiny components from these products can complicate medical imaging once in the system,
- Due to a complex production process, their cost is above average,
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets should not be near people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields. As a result, they interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This happens because such devices have a function to deactivate them in a magnetic field.
Do not place neodymium magnets near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
Strong 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. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Despite the fact that magnets have been found 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.
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 contains nickel, so be cautious if you have a nickel 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.
It is important to maintain neodymium magnets away from youngest 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 attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
Magnets will crack or alternatively crumble with careless connecting to each other. You can't approach them to each other. At a distance less than 10 cm you should hold them extremely firmly.
Magnets made of neodymium are highly susceptible to damage, resulting in shattering.
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. 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.
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 the strongest magnets ever invented. Their strength 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 disruption to the magnets.
