Shopping tips
Moreover, even though neodymium is part of the strongest magnets, they are susceptible to corrosion in humid environments. For this reason, they are coated with a thin layer of silver to increase their durability. It's worth noting that NdFeB neodymium magnets are about 13% lighter than SmCo magnets and, despite their power, easily break, 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 where solvents are present, 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 covered with thin coatings, such as gold, to preserve them from external factors and prolong their durability. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a loss of their magnetic strength, although there are specific 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 properly protected. Additionally, their use is not recommended in water, oil, or in an environment containing hydrogen, as they may forfeit their magnetic properties.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
- Their strength remains stable, and after around ten years, it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They are highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external field interference,
- In other words, due to the glossy gold coating, the magnet obtains an aesthetic appearance,
- The outer field strength of the magnet shows elevated magnetic properties,
- Thanks to their enhanced temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C or more,
- The ability for accurate shaping and adaptation to specific needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies their functionality across industries,
- Key role in new technology industries – they find application in HDDs, electric motors, diagnostic apparatus along with other advanced devices,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling strength in small dimensions, which allows for use in small systems
Disadvantages of magnetic elements:
- They are fragile when subjected to a heavy impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, we recommend in a metal holder. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage while also increases its overall strength,
- They lose magnetic force at increased temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent degradation in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the dimensions and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- Magnets exposed to damp air can degrade. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we recommend waterproof types made of rubber,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the challenges in manufacturing complex structures directly in the magnet,
- Health risk from tiny pieces may arise, in case of ingestion, which is important in the protection of children. Furthermore, miniature parts from these assemblies have the potential to interfere with diagnostics when ingested,
- High unit cost – neodymium magnets are costlier than other types of magnets (e.g., ferrite), which increases the cost of large-scale applications
Highest magnetic holding force – what it depends on?
The given strength of the magnet represents the optimal strength, measured in the best circumstances, namely:
- with mild steel, used as a magnetic flux conductor
- of a thickness of at least 10 mm
- with a refined outer layer
- with zero air gap
- in a perpendicular direction of force
- in normal thermal conditions
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
The lifting capacity of a magnet depends on in practice key elements, from primary to secondary:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, since 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 testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
Handle Neodymium Magnets with Caution
It is crucial not to allow the magnets to pinch together uncontrollably or place your fingers in their path as they attract to each other.
Neodymium magnets will bounce and also contact together within a radius of several to around 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.
Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times more powerful, and their strength can surprise you.
Read the information on our website on how to properly utilize neodymium magnets and avoid significant harm to your body and unintentional damage to the magnets.
Neodymium magnetic are extremely fragile, leading to breaking.
Magnets made of neodymium are delicate and will crack if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. 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.
It is essential to maintain neodymium magnets away from children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. In such a situation, surgery is necessary to remove them. In the worst case scenario, it can result in death.
Do not place neodymium magnets 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, or other devices. They can also destroy devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
The magnet coating is made of nickel, so be cautious 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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Keep neodymium magnets away from people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields. As a result, they 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.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Do not attempt to drill into neodymium magnets. Mechanical processing is also not recommended. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.
Strong fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
