Shopping tips
Moreover, even though neodymium is part of the strongest magnets, they are prone to corrosion in humid environments. Therefore, they are coated with a coating of gold to protect them from corrosion. It's worth noting that NdFeB neodymium magnets are about 13% lighter than SmCo magnets and, despite their power, are brittle, 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 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, 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 susceptible to corrosion, especially in conditions of high humidity. Therefore, they are often coated with coatings, such as gold, to shield them from external factors and extend their lifespan. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a loss of their magnetic strength, although there are particular types of neodymium magnets that can tolerate temperatures up to 230°C.
As for potential dangers, 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 wet conditions, oil, or in an environment containing hydrogen, as they may lose their magnetic properties.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They do not lose their magnetism, even after around ten years – the loss of lifting capacity is only ~1% (theoretically),
- Their ability to resist magnetic interference from external fields is impressive,
- Thanks to the glossy finish and nickel coating, they have an aesthetic appearance,
- The outer field strength of the magnet shows remarkable magnetic properties,
- With the right combination of materials, they reach increased thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the structure),
- With the option for customized forming and personalized design, these magnets can be produced in various shapes and sizes, greatly improving design adaptation,
- Key role in modern technologies – they find application in HDDs, electric drives, clinical machines along with high-tech tools,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling strength in tiny dimensions, which makes them ideal in small systems
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They may fracture when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, it is suggested to place them in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage and additionally increases its overall durability,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the magnetic power of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent loss in performance (depending on size). 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 moist environment – during outdoor use, we recommend using encapsulated magnets, such as those made of non-metallic materials,
- Limited ability to create internal holes in the magnet – the use of a magnetic holder is recommended,
- Health risk linked to microscopic shards may arise, in case of ingestion, which is notable in the health of young users. It should also be noted that miniature parts from these magnets have the potential to disrupt scanning if inside the body,
- Due to expensive raw materials, their cost is relatively high,
Handle Neodymium Magnets Carefully
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for 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.
Neodymium magnets are over 10 times more powerful than ferrite magnets (the ones in speakers), and their strength can surprise 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 magnetic are known for their fragility, which can cause them to 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.
The magnet coating is made of nickel, so be cautious 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.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Even though magnets have been observed 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.
You should maintain neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Strong magnetic fields emitted by neodymium magnets can destroy magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other devices. They can also 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 swellings.
Neodymium magnets will jump and touch together within a distance of several to almost 10 cm from each other.
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.
Do not bring neodymium magnets close to GPS and smartphones.
Neodymium magnets are a source of strong magnetic fields that cause interference with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Neodymium magnets should not be in the vicinity 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.
