Shopping tips
Moreover, even though neodymium is part of the strongest magnets, they are susceptible to corrosion in humid environments. Therefore, they are coated with a coating of silver 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 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 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 preserve them from environmental factors and prolong their durability. 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 dangers, it is important to avoid using neodymium magnets in acidic conditions, basic conditions, organic or solvent environments, unless they are adequately insulated. Additionally, their use is not recommended in water, oil, or in an atmosphere containing hydrogen, as they may forfeit their magnetic properties.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- Their strength is maintained, and after around ten years, it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by external electromagnetic environments effectively,
- The use of a mirror-like gold surface provides a smooth finish,
- They possess significant magnetic force measurable at the magnet’s surface,
- Neodymium magnets are known for exceptionally strong magnetic induction and the ability to work at temperatures up to 230°C or higher (depending on the geometry),
- Thanks to the flexibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in diverse shapes and sizes, which increases their functional possibilities,
- Significant impact in cutting-edge sectors – they find application in computer drives, electric drives, medical equipment or even sophisticated instruments,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer strong power in tiny dimensions, which allows for use in small systems
Disadvantages of magnetic elements:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, it is advisable to use in a steel housing. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage and strengthens its overall durability,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the strength of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent weakening 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,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is recommended to use sealed magnets made of synthetic coating for outdoor use,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the restrictions in manufacturing threads directly in the magnet,
- Safety concern related to magnet particles may arise, especially if swallowed, which is important in the protection of children. Additionally, tiny components from these magnets can interfere with diagnostics after being swallowed,
- Higher purchase price is one of the drawbacks compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?
The given lifting capacity of the magnet corresponds to the maximum lifting force, determined in the best circumstances, that is:
- with the use of low-carbon steel plate acting as a magnetic yoke
- having a thickness of no less than 10 millimeters
- with a polished side
- with zero air gap
- under perpendicular detachment force
- at room temperature
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
The lifting capacity of a magnet is influenced by in practice key elements, ordered from most important to least 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.
* Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Safety Precautions
Keep neodymium magnets away from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Neodymium magnets generate intense magnetic fields that can destroy magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, etc. devices. They can also damage devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Magnets made of neodymium are characterized by their fragility, which can cause them to become damaged.
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. At the moment of collision between the magnets, sharp metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
Keep neodymium magnets as far away as possible from GPS and smartphones.
Magnetic fields can interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in aviation and maritime navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices. There are neodymium magnets in every smartphone, for example, in the microphone and speakers.
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.
Neodymium magnets are primarily characterized by their significant internal force. They attract to each other, and any object that comes in their way will be affected.
Neodymium magnets bounce and touch each other mutually within a radius of several to almost 10 cm from each other.
The magnet coating is made of nickel, so be cautious 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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets are over 10 times stronger than ferrite magnets (the ones in speakers), and their strength can shock you.
To handle magnets properly, it is best to familiarize yourself with our information beforehand. This will help you avoid significant harm to your body and the magnets themselves.
Neodymium magnets should not be near people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can interfere 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.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Whilst 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 should not be in the vicinity children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. Small magnets pose a serious choking hazard or can attract to each other in the intestines. In such cases, the only solution is to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and otherwise, it can even lead to death.
