Shopping tips
Moreover, although neodymium is a component of the strongest magnets, they are susceptible to corrosion in humid environments. For this reason, they are coated with a thin layer of nickel to protect them from corrosion. Interestingly that NdFeB neodymium magnets are about 13% lighter than SmCo magnets and, despite their power, easily break, 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 many recommendations regarding the use of these magnets. It is advisable to avoid their use in acidic, basic, organic environments or where solvents are present, as well as 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 silver, to preserve them from environmental factors and extend their lifespan. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a deterioration of their magnetic properties, although there are particular types of neodymium magnets that can withstand 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 insulated. Additionally, their use is not recommended in water, oil, or in an environment containing hydrogen, as they may lose their magnetic strength.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years, the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They are very resistant to demagnetization caused by external field interference,
- The use of a mirror-like nickel surface provides a refined 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,
- Thanks to the freedom in shaping and the capability to adapt to individual requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in various configurations, which increases their usage potential,
- Key role in new technology industries – they find application in data storage devices, electric motors, diagnostic apparatus or even high-tech tools,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they provide high effectiveness, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, we recommend in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture , and at the same time reinforces its overall resistance,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the field efficiency of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent weakening 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,
- Magnets exposed to wet conditions can oxidize. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we suggest waterproof types made of coated materials,
- Limited ability to create precision features in the magnet – the use of a external casing is recommended,
- Safety concern related to magnet particles may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is important in the health of young users. Additionally, tiny components from these products may hinder health screening if inside the body,
- Due to the price of neodymium, their cost is above average,
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what contributes to it?
The given holding capacity of the magnet represents the highest holding force, calculated under optimal conditions, namely:
- with the use of low-carbon steel plate acting as a magnetic yoke
- with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
- with a polished side
- in conditions of no clearance
- under perpendicular detachment force
- in normal thermal conditions
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
Practical lifting force is determined by elements, by priority:
- 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.
* Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Be Cautious with Neodymium Magnets
Keep neodymium magnets away from children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. In such a situation, surgery is necessary to remove them. In the worst case scenario, it can result in death.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Despite the fact that 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.
Avoid contact with neodymium magnets if you have a nickel 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, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets are particularly delicate, which leads to damage.
Neodymium magnets are fragile as well as will break if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. They are coated with a shiny nickel plating similar to steel, but they are not as hard. 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.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be placed near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
The strong magnetic field generated by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, etc. devices. They can also destroy devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from these electronic devices.
Keep neodymium magnets away from people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields. As a result, they 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.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to GPS and smartphones.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields that interfere with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Magnets will attract to each other, so remember not to allow them to pinch together without control or place your fingers in their path.
If joining of neodymium magnets is not under control, then they may crumble and crack. You can't approach them to each other. At a distance less than 10 cm you should hold them extremely firmly.
Neodymium magnets are the most powerful magnets ever created, and their strength can shock you.
