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 nickel to increase their durability. Interestingly that NdFeB neodymium magnets are about 13% lighter than SmCo magnets and, despite their power, are brittle, which requires care during their handling. Therefore, any mechanical processing should be done before they are magnetized.
In terms of safety, there are several recommendations regarding the use of these magnets. It is advisable to avoid their use in acidic, basic, organic environments or in solvents, 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 covered with thin coatings, such as gold, to protect them from environmental factors and prolong their durability. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in a loss of their magnetic properties, although there are specific 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 conditions, 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 properties.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They retain their magnetic properties for nearly 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- Their ability to resist magnetic interference from external fields is among the best,
- The use of a mirror-like silver surface provides a eye-catching finish,
- They exhibit superior 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 diverse shapes and sizes, which expands their usage potential,
- Wide application in cutting-edge sectors – they are used in HDDs, electromechanical systems, healthcare devices or even sophisticated instruments,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they deliver powerful magnetism, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, it is suggested to place them in a steel housing. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture , and at the same time strengthens its overall robustness,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the magnetic power of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent decline in performance (depending on height). 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 humidity can degrade. Therefore, for outdoor applications, it's best to use waterproof types made of rubber,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining internal cuts in neodymium magnets is risky,
- Potential hazard linked to microscopic shards may arise, when consumed by mistake, which is significant in the health of young users. Furthermore, tiny components from these products can complicate medical imaging when ingested,
- In cases of mass production, neodymium magnet cost is a challenge,
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
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. In addition, they can damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets are noted for 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, 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.
Magnets should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for children to have access to them.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play with them. In the case of swallowing multiple magnets simultaneously, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls. In the worst case scenario, this can lead to death.
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.
Neodymium magnets are the most powerful magnets ever created, and their power 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.
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 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 will bounce and touch together within a radius of several to almost 10 cm from each other.
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.
Intense magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
If you have a nickel allergy, avoid contact with neodymium magnets.
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.
