Shopping tips
Moreover, even though neodymium is a component of the strongest magnets, they are susceptible to corrosion in humid environments. For this reason, 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 care 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. They should not be used in acidic, basic, organic environments or where solvents are present, and also in water or oil. Furthermore, 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 conditions of high humidity. Therefore, they are often covered with thin coatings, such as silver, to protect them from environmental factors and prolong their durability. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in 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 conditions, organic or solvent environments, unless they are insulated. Additionally, their use is not recommended in wet conditions, oil, or in an atmosphere containing hydrogen, as they may forfeit their magnetic properties.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years, the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- They are very resistant to demagnetization caused by external field interference,
- By applying a reflective layer of gold, the element gains a clean look,
- They have exceptional magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- With the right combination of magnetic alloys, they reach excellent thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the design),
- Thanks to the flexibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to specific requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in different geometries, which expands their usage potential,
- Important function in cutting-edge sectors – they are used in data storage devices, electromechanical systems, medical equipment along with sophisticated instruments,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer strong power in compact dimensions, which allows for use in compact constructions
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, they should be placed in a steel housing. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage , and at the same time increases its overall resistance,
- Magnets lose field strength when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible magnetic decay (influenced by the magnet’s form). To address this, we provide [AH] models with superior thermal resistance, able to operate even at 230°C or more,
- Magnets exposed to moisture can rust. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we advise waterproof types made of non-metallic composites,
- Limited ability to create complex details in the magnet – the use of a external casing is recommended,
- Health risk related to magnet particles may arise, when consumed by mistake, which is crucial in the context of child safety. It should also be noted that miniature parts from these assemblies may disrupt scanning if inside the body,
- High unit cost – neodymium magnets are costlier than other types of magnets (e.g., ferrite), which may limit large-scale applications
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what affects it?
The given lifting capacity of the magnet means the maximum lifting force, calculated in the best circumstances, specifically:
- with mild steel, serving as a magnetic flux conductor
- with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
- with a refined outer layer
- with no separation
- with vertical force applied
- at room temperature
What influences lifting capacity in practice
In practice, the holding capacity of a magnet is affected by these factors, from crucial to less important:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, as 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 testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap {between} the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Caution with Neodymium Magnets
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 particularly delicate, resulting in shattering.
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. At the moment of connection between the magnets, sharp metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
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, or other devices. They can also destroy videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate very strong magnetic fields that can 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.
Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times stronger, and their power can shock you.
Read the information on our website on how to properly utilize neodymium magnets and avoid significant harm to your body and unintentional damage to the magnets.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Despite the general resilience of magnets, their ability to retain their magnetic strength can be influenced by factors like the type of material used, the magnet's shape, and the intended purpose for which it is employed.
The magnet coating contains nickel, so be cautious 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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
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.
Magnets will attract each other within a distance of several to about 10 cm from each other. Remember not to insert fingers between magnets or alternatively in their path when attract. Depending on how large the neodymium magnets are, they can lead to a cut or alternatively a fracture.
Magnets should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for children to have access to them.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. 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.
Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and GPS.
Strong fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
