Magnetic properties of material N38
Physical properties of NdFeB
Shopping tips
Moreover, although neodymium is a component of the strongest magnets, they are prone to corrosion in humid environments. Therefore, they are coated with a coating of gold-nickel to protect them from corrosion. Interestingly 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. It is advisable to avoid their use in acidic, basic, organic environments or where solvents are present, as well as 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 humid conditions. Therefore, they are often covered with coatings, such as silver, to shield them from external factors and extend their lifespan. Temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a reduction of their magnetic strength, 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 insulated. Additionally, their use is not recommended in wet conditions, oil, or in an environment containing hydrogen, as they may lose their magnetic strength.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from their strong holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
- They do not lose their power nearly ten years – the loss of power is only ~1% (according to tests),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to strong external fields,
- Because of the brilliant layer of nickel, the component looks high-end,
- They have exceptional magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- With the right combination of materials, they reach excellent thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the design),
- Thanks to the flexibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to individual requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in different geometries, which broadens their application range,
- Significant impact in modern technologies – they serve a purpose in HDDs, electromechanical systems, diagnostic apparatus and other advanced devices,
- Thanks to their efficiency per volume, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, while occupying minimal space,
Disadvantages of magnetic elements:
- They may fracture when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, we recommend in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture and increases its overall robustness,
- Magnets lose power when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible performance loss (influenced by the magnet’s form). To address this, we provide [AH] models with superior thermal resistance, able to operate even at 230°C or more,
- Magnets exposed to moisture can oxidize. Therefore, for outdoor applications, it's best to use waterproof types made of plastic,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining threads in neodymium magnets is not feasible,
- Possible threat related to magnet particles may arise, when consumed by mistake, which is notable in the family environments. It should also be noted that small elements from these assemblies might hinder health screening if inside the body,
- Higher purchase price is one of the drawbacks compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Handle Neodymium Magnets Carefully
It is essential to keep neodymium magnets out of reach from children.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. In the case of small magnets, they can be swallowed and cause choking. In such cases, the only solution is to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and otherwise, it can even lead to death.
The magnet is coated with nickel - be careful if you have an 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.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be placed near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
The strong magnetic field generated by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, etc. devices. They can also damage videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets away from these electronic devices.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
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.
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 can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
While Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetic properties 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.
Neodymium magnets are extremely delicate, they easily crack and can become damaged.
Neodymium magnets are fragile as well as 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 crucial not to allow the magnets to pinch together uncontrollably or place your fingers in their path as they attract to each other.
If the joining of neodymium magnets is not under control, then they may crumble and crack. Remember not to move them to each other or hold them firmly in hands at a distance less than 10 cm.
Neodymium magnets are the most powerful magnets ever invented. Their strength can surprise you.
Please review the information on how to handle neodymium magnets and avoid significant harm to your body, as well as prevent unintentional damage to the magnets.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.
Neodymium magnets are a source of intense magnetic fields that cause interference with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Exercise caution!
