Physical properties of NdFeB
Shopping tips
Moreover, even though neodymium is a component of the strongest magnets, they are susceptible to corrosion in humid environments. Therefore, they are coated with a coating of gold to increase their durability. Interestingly that NdFeB neodymium magnets are about 13% lighter than SmCo magnets and, despite their power, are brittle, which requires special caution 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 where solvents are present, as well as in water or oil. Additionally, 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 thin coatings, such as gold, to protect them from environmental factors and prolong their durability. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a loss of their magnetic strength, although there are specific 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 conditions, basic environments, 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 as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They have stable power, and over around ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to strong external fields,
- The use of a mirror-like silver surface provides a smooth finish,
- They exhibit elevated 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,
- The ability for precise shaping or adaptation to specific needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in multiple variants of geometries, which extends the scope of their use cases,
- Key role in modern technologies – they are utilized in data storage devices, rotating machines, medical equipment as well as high-tech tools,
- Thanks to their concentrated strength, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, with minimal size,
Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, they should be placed in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks , and at the same time reinforces its overall durability,
- They lose field intensity at elevated temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent degradation in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the geometry and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is wise to use sealed magnets made of rubber for outdoor use,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining internal cuts in neodymium magnets is not feasible,
- Health risk due to small fragments may arise, when consumed by mistake, which is crucial in the family environments. Furthermore, minuscule fragments from these magnets may disrupt scanning when ingested,
- Higher purchase price is one of the drawbacks compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what it depends on?
The given pulling force of the magnet represents the maximum force, measured in the best circumstances, namely:
- with mild steel, serving as a magnetic flux conductor
- with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
- with a refined outer layer
- with zero air gap
- under perpendicular detachment force
- in normal thermal conditions
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
Practical lifting force is dependent on factors, listed from the most critical to the less significant:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, because 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 measured by applying a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a slight gap {between} the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets are incredibly delicate, they easily fall apart and can crumble.
In the event of a collision between two neodymium magnets, it can result in them getting chipped. Despite being made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel plating, they are not as hard as steel. 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.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Despite the general resilience of magnets, 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.
Magnets should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for children to have access to 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.
Keep neodymium magnets as far away as possible from GPS and smartphones.
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.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be placed near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
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. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near 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.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate very strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This is because many of these devices are equipped with a function that deactivates the device in a magnetic field.
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 injuries.
In the case of placing a finger in the path of a neodymium magnet, in such a case, a cut or a fracture may occur.
Neodymium magnets are the most powerful magnets ever invented. Their strength can shock you.

The magnet coating contains nickel, so be cautious if you have a nickel 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.
