Physical properties of NdFeB
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 coating of nickel 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 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. Furthermore, they can damage 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 sensitive to corrosion, especially in conditions of high humidity. Therefore, they are often coated with coatings, such as silver, to protect them from environmental factors and prolong their durability. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a reduction of their magnetic properties, although there are specific types of neodymium magnets that can tolerate temperatures up to 230°C.
As for risks, 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.
Apart from their notable holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
- They do not lose their even over nearly 10 years – the reduction of power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They show exceptional resistance to demagnetization from outside magnetic sources,
- In other words, due to the metallic silver coating, the magnet obtains an professional appearance,
- The outer field strength of the magnet shows elevated magnetic properties,
- They are suitable for high-temperature applications, operating effectively at 230°C+ due to advanced heat resistance and form-specific properties,
- The ability for custom 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,
- Key role in advanced technical fields – they find application in HDDs, electric motors, diagnostic apparatus as well as sophisticated instruments,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer strong power in compact dimensions, which makes them ideal in compact constructions
Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
- They may fracture when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, it is advisable to use in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage and reinforces its overall durability,
- They lose field intensity at high temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent decline in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the form 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 recommend waterproof types made of rubber,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the restrictions in manufacturing holes directly in the magnet,
- Safety concern related to magnet particles may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is crucial in the protection of children. It should also be noted that tiny components from these products might disrupt scanning after being swallowed,
- Due to the price of neodymium, their cost is considerably higher,
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what it depends on?
The given pulling force of the magnet corresponds to the maximum force, determined in ideal conditions, namely:
- with mild steel, serving as a magnetic flux conductor
- having a thickness of no less than 10 millimeters
- with a smooth surface
- in conditions of no clearance
- in a perpendicular direction of force
- in normal thermal conditions
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
In practice, the holding capacity of a magnet is conditioned by the following aspects, in descending order of importance:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, as 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.
* Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Handle with Care: Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Although magnets are generally resilient, their ability to retain their magnetic strength can be influenced by factors like the type of material used, the magnet's shape, and the intended purpose for which it is employed.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever invented. Their power can surprise you.
To handle magnets properly, it is best to familiarize yourself with our information beforehand. This will help you avoid significant harm to your body and the magnets themselves.
Do not give neodymium magnets to 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.
If you have a nickel allergy, avoid contact with neodymium magnets.
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.
Neodymium Magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
If have a finger between or alternatively on the path of attracting magnets, there may be a severe cut or a fracture.
Neodymium magnets are especially fragile, which leads to damage.
Neodymium magnetic are highly delicate, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will break. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel, but they are not as durable as steel. In the event of a collision between two magnets, there may be a scattering of fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is crucial in such a situation.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.
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 should not be near people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a heart pacemaker. Even if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the entire device.
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 damage videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from these electronic devices.
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.
