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 thin layer of gold-nickel to protect them from corrosion. Interestingly that NdFeB neodymium magnets are about 13% lighter than SmCo magnets and, despite their power, are brittle, which requires care during their handling. Therefore, 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. Furthermore, 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 coated with coatings, such as silver, to protect them from environmental factors and prolong their durability. 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 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 strength.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their immense strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- They retain their full power for almost 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by ambient magnetic fields very well,
- By applying a reflective layer of silver, the element gains a sleek look,
- They exhibit extremely high levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- They are suitable for high-temperature applications, operating effectively at 230°C+ due to advanced heat resistance and form-specific properties,
- With the option for tailored forming and targeted design, these magnets can be produced in numerous shapes and sizes, greatly improving application potential,
- Important function in modern technologies – they are utilized in computer drives, electric drives, clinical machines as well as sophisticated instruments,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer intense magnetic field in compact dimensions, which makes them ideal in small systems
Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, they should be placed in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage and strengthens its overall robustness,
- Magnets lose power when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible power drop (influenced by the magnet’s dimensions). 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 multi-axis shapes in neodymium magnets is restricted,
- Health risk due to small fragments may arise, in case of ingestion, which is important in the family environments. It should also be noted that miniature parts from these magnets have the potential to hinder health screening when ingested,
- Higher purchase price is one of the drawbacks compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what affects it?
The given holding capacity of the magnet means the highest holding force, measured in ideal conditions, that is:
- with mild steel, serving as a magnetic flux conductor
- having a thickness of no less than 10 millimeters
- with a polished side
- with no separation
- under perpendicular detachment force
- in normal thermal conditions
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
Practical lifting force is dependent on factors, listed from the most critical to the less significant:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, since 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 was determined with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Be Cautious with Neodymium Magnets
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
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. They can also damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
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 can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Despite the fact that magnets have been found to maintain their efficacy up to temperatures of 80°C or 175°F, it's essential to consider that this threshold may fluctuate depending on the magnet's type, configuration, and intended usage.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
Keep neodymium magnets away from 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. Even if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the entire device.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever invented. Their power can shock you.
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.
Neodymium magnets are highly delicate, they easily break and can crumble.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by significant fragility. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel surface, but they are not as hard 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.
Magnets will attract to each other, so remember not to allow them to pinch together without control or place your fingers in their path.
Neodymium magnets will jump and also contact together within a distance of several to almost 10 cm from each other.
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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Magnets are not toys, children should not play with them.
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.
