Shopping tips
Moreover, although 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 gold 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. 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. They should not be used 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 always certain.
In terms of properties in different environments, neodymium magnets are susceptible to corrosion, especially in humid conditions. Therefore, they are often covered with thin coatings, such as nickel, to protect them from external factors and prolong their durability. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a deterioration of their magnetic properties, although there are particular 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 insulated. Additionally, their use is not recommended in wet conditions, oil, or in an atmosphere 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 virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years, the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to magnetic surroundings,
- By applying a bright layer of silver, the element gains a sleek look,
- The outer field strength of the magnet shows advanced magnetic properties,
- With the right combination of materials, they reach excellent thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the structure),
- Thanks to the freedom in shaping and the capability to adapt to specific requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in diverse shapes and sizes, which expands their application range,
- Important function in modern technologies – they are used in hard drives, electromechanical systems, diagnostic apparatus as well as high-tech tools,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they generate strong force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a heavy impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, we recommend in a metal holder. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks , and at the same time strengthens its overall durability,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the strength of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent decline in performance (depending on shape). 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,
- They rust in a damp environment – during outdoor use, we recommend using sealed magnets, such as those made of plastic,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining internal cuts in neodymium magnets is risky,
- Safety concern related to magnet particles may arise, especially if swallowed, which is important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, miniature parts from these magnets have the potential to disrupt scanning after being swallowed,
- In cases of large-volume purchasing, neodymium magnet cost is a challenge,
Highest magnetic holding force – what affects it?
The given holding capacity of the magnet means the highest holding force, assessed under optimal conditions, namely:
- with the use of low-carbon steel plate acting as a magnetic yoke
- with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
- with a polished side
- with zero air gap
- under perpendicular detachment force
- at room temperature
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
Practical lifting force is determined by factors, by priority:
- 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.
* Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
If you have a finger between or alternatively on the path of attracting magnets, there may be a serious cut or even a fracture.
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.
Neodymium magnets are over 10 times stronger than ferrite magnets (the ones in speakers), and their power can shock you.
Read the information on our website on how to properly utilize neodymium magnets and avoid significant harm to your body and unintentional disruption to the magnets.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
In the case of neodymium magnets, there is a strong magnetic field. As a result, it interferes 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.
You should maintain neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
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. In addition, they can damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and GPS.
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 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.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Under specific conditions, Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetism when subjected to high temperatures.
Magnets made of neodymium are extremely fragile, resulting in their cracking.
Neodymium magnets are fragile 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. At the moment of collision between the magnets, small sharp metal pieces can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
Neodymium magnets should not be in the vicinity youngest children.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Be cautious and make sure no child plays with them. Small magnets can pose a serious choking hazard. If multiple magnets are swallowed, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls, causing significant injuries, and even death.
