Shopping tips
Moreover, although neodymium is part of the strongest magnets, they are susceptible to corrosion in humid environments. Therefore, they are coated with a coating of nickel to protect them from corrosion. It's worth noting that NdFeB neodymium magnets are about 13% lighter than SmCo magnets and, despite their power, easily break, 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 guaranteed.
In terms of properties in different environments, neodymium magnets are susceptible to corrosion, especially in humid conditions. Therefore, they are often coated with thin coatings, such as gold, to protect them from external factors and extend their lifespan. Temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in a reduction of their magnetic strength, 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 adequately insulated. 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 durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They have constant strength, and over nearly 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by surrounding magnetic fields effectively,
- In other words, due to the glossy nickel coating, the magnet obtains an professional appearance,
- The outer field strength of the magnet shows remarkable magnetic properties,
- Thanks to their exceptional temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C or more,
- Thanks to the possibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to individual requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in diverse shapes and sizes, which increases their application range,
- Key role in cutting-edge sectors – they find application in HDDs, electromechanical systems, diagnostic apparatus or even high-tech tools,
- Thanks to their efficiency per volume, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, while occupying minimal space,
Disadvantages of magnetic elements:
- They can break when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, it is advisable to use in a steel housing. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture and additionally reinforces its overall durability,
- They lose power at extreme temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent degradation in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the dimensions and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- They rust in a damp environment. If exposed to rain, we recommend using encapsulated magnets, such as those made of rubber,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the difficulty in manufacturing fine shapes directly in the magnet,
- Safety concern related to magnet particles may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is notable in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny components from these assemblies may hinder health screening when ingested,
- Higher purchase price is an important factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?
The given holding capacity of the magnet represents the highest holding force, calculated in the best circumstances, that is:
- with mild steel, serving as a magnetic flux conductor
- with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
- with a polished side
- with zero air gap
- 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) can cause 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 a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets should not be near people with pacemakers.
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. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
The magnet is coated with nickel - be careful 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, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Magnets should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for youngest children to have access to them.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. 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.
Neodymium magnetic are incredibly delicate, they easily break and can crumble.
Neodymium magnets are extremely delicate, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will crack. Neodymium magnetic are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel, but they are not as durable 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.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Although magnets have demonstrated their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, the temperature can vary depending on the type, shape, and intended use of the specific magnet.
Do not bring neodymium magnets close to 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.
Neodymium magnets are among the strongest magnets on Earth. The astonishing force they generate between each other can shock you.
Familiarize yourself with our information to properly handle these magnets and avoid significant injuries to your body and prevent disruption to the magnets.
You should keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Neodymium magnets produce intense magnetic fields that can destroy magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, or other devices. They can also damage devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets away from these electronic devices.
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.
In the situation of placing a finger in the path of a neodymium magnet, in that situation, a cut or even a fracture may occur.
Be careful!
