Shopping tips
Moreover, even though neodymium is a component of the strongest magnets, they are prone to corrosion in humid environments. For this reason, they are coated with a thin layer of silver 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 care 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. It is advisable to avoid their use in acidic, basic, organic environments or in solvents, and also in water or oil. Furthermore, they can distort 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 coatings, such as epoxy, to preserve them from external factors and extend their lifespan. Temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a deterioration of their magnetic properties, 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 conditions, basic environments, organic or solvent environments, unless they are properly protected. Additionally, their use is not recommended in water, oil, or in an atmosphere containing hydrogen, as they may lose their magnetic strength.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their remarkable pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- Their power remains stable, and after around 10 years, it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to magnetic surroundings,
- Thanks to the polished finish and gold coating, they have an visually attractive appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is impressively powerful,
- These magnets tolerate extreme temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to profile),
- The ability for accurate shaping and adaptation to custom needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in many forms and dimensions, which enhances their versatility in applications,
- Significant impact in modern technologies – they are used in hard drives, rotating machines, healthcare devices or even other advanced devices,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they provide high effectiveness, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- They may fracture when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, we recommend in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage and enhances its overall robustness,
- Magnets lose pulling force when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible performance loss (influenced by the magnet’s profile). To address this, we provide [AH] models with superior thermal resistance, able to operate even at 230°C or more,
- They rust in a wet environment. For outdoor use, we recommend using sealed magnets, such as those made of rubber,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the challenges in manufacturing threads directly in the magnet,
- Potential hazard linked to microscopic shards may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is important in the context of child safety. Moreover, tiny components from these assemblies might interfere with diagnostics if inside the body,
- Higher purchase price is an important factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets should not be around youngest 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.
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.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.
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.
Keep neodymium magnets away 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 demagnetize 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.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
In the case of holding a finger in the path of a neodymium magnet, in that situation, a cut or a fracture may occur.
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.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
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.
Magnets made of neodymium are incredibly delicate, they easily fall apart as well as can crumble.
Neodymium magnets are highly fragile, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will break. 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.
Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times stronger, and their strength can shock you.
Please review the information on how to handle neodymium magnets and avoid significant harm to your body, as well as prevent unintentional damage to the magnets.
