Shopping tips
Moreover, although neodymium is a component of the strongest magnets, they are susceptible to corrosion in humid environments. Therefore, they are coated with a coating of gold 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. 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. They should not be used 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 sensitive to corrosion, especially in conditions of high humidity. Therefore, they are often coated with coatings, such as epoxy, to shield them from external factors and extend their lifespan. Temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in a loss of their magnetic strength, 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 properly protected. Additionally, their use is not recommended in water, oil, or in an atmosphere containing hydrogen, as they may lose their magnetic strength.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
- Their strength is maintained, and after around 10 years, it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They are very resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the metallic gold coating, the magnet obtains an stylish appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is very strong,
- Thanks to their enhanced temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C or more,
- Thanks to the freedom in shaping and the capability to adapt to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in different geometries, which expands their usage potential,
- Important function in new technology industries – they find application in HDDs, rotating machines, diagnostic apparatus as well as sophisticated instruments,
- Thanks to their concentrated strength, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, while occupying minimal space,
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, we recommend in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage , and at the same time increases its overall strength,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the field efficiency of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent weakening in performance (depending on height). To prevent this, we offer heat-resistant magnets marked [AH], capable of working up to 230°C, which makes them perfect for high-temperature use,
- Magnets exposed to moisture can corrode. Therefore, for outdoor applications, it's best to use waterproof types made of rubber,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the difficulty in manufacturing holes directly in the magnet,
- Health risk due to small fragments may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is important in the protection of children. Moreover, minuscule fragments from these magnets have the potential to complicate medical imaging after being swallowed,
- Due to the price of neodymium, their cost is above average,
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what affects it?
The given lifting capacity of the magnet corresponds to the maximum lifting force, assessed under optimal conditions, that is:
- with the use of low-carbon steel plate serving as a magnetic yoke
- having a thickness of no less than 10 millimeters
- with a polished side
- with zero air gap
- with vertical force applied
- at room temperature
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
In practice, the holding capacity of a magnet is affected by these factors, from crucial to less important:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, because even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) causes 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 conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance {between} the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Do not give neodymium magnets to 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.
You should maintain neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
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. In addition, they can damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
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 radius of several to around 10 cm from each other.
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.
Magnets made of neodymium are highly delicate, they easily break and can become damaged.
Neodymium magnetic 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.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
While 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.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to GPS and smartphones.
Magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Neodymium magnets are the most powerful, most remarkable magnets on earth, and the surprising force between them can surprise you at first.
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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from 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.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly 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.
