Magnetic properties of the material N38
Physical properties of sintered neodymium magnets Nd2Fe14B
Moreover, although neodymium is part of the strongest magnets, they are susceptible to corrosion in humid environments. For this reason, they are coated with a thin layer of silver to increase their durability. 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 in solvents, as well as in water or oil. Additionally, 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 sensitive to corrosion, especially in humid conditions. Therefore, they are often coated with thin coatings, such as silver, to protect them from environmental factors and extend their lifespan. Temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a reduction of their magnetic strength, 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 environments, basic conditions, organic or solvent environments, unless they are properly protected. Additionally, their use is not recommended in wet conditions, oil, or in an environment containing hydrogen, as they may forfeit their magnetic strength.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from immense strength, neodymium magnets have the following advantages:
- They do not lose strength over time. After about 10 years, their strength decreases by only ~1% (theoretically),
- They are highly resistant to demagnetization by external magnetic sources,
- In other words, thanks to the glossy nickel, gold, or silver finish, the element gains an aesthetic appearance,
- They have exceptionally high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- Magnetic neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet and can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures of 230°C or higher...
- The ability for precise shaping or customization to specific needs – neodymium magnets can be produced in various forms and dimensions, which enhances their versatility in applications.
- Wide application in advanced technologically fields – are utilized in HDD drives, electric drive mechanisms, medical apparatus and other modern machines.
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to impacts, we recommend using magnets in a steel housing. The steel housing in the form of a holder protects the magnet from impacts, and at the same time increases its overall strength,
- High temperatures can reduce the power of neodymium magnets. Typically, after heating above 80°C, most of them experience a permanent loss in strength (although it is dependent on the shape and size). To prevent this, we offer special magnets marked with the symbol [AH], which are highly resistant to high temperatures. They can operate even at temperatures up to 230°C, making them an ideal solution for applications requiring high-temperature operation,
- Due to their susceptibility to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic, or other moisture-resistant materials when using them outdoors,
- The use of a cover - a magnetic holder is recommended due to the limited production capabilities of creating threads or complex shapes in the magnet
- Health risk arising from small pieces of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally ingested, which becomes significant in the aspect of protecting young children. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets have the potential to be problematic in medical diagnosis in case of swallowing.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Do not attempt to drill into neodymium magnets. Mechanical processing is also not recommended. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
Neodymium magnets should not be near people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a heart pacemaker. Even if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the entire device.
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. Don't put your fingers in the path of magnet attraction, because a serious injury may occur. Magnets, depending on their size, are able even cut off a finger or there can be a significant pressure or a fracture.
Neodymium magnets are especially fragile, which leads to their breakage.
Neodymium magnets are highly delicate, 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. At the moment of collision between the magnets, small metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Under specific conditions, Neodymium magnets may experience demagnetization when subjected to high temperatures.
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.
Do not place neodymium magnets near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields that can destroy magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, etc. devices. They can also damage videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from these electronic devices.
Magnets are not toys, children should not play with them.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Be cautious and make sure no child plays with them. Small magnets can pose a serious choking hazard. If multiple magnets are swallowed, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls, causing significant injuries, and even death.
Neodymium magnets are among the most powerful magnets on Earth. The surprising force they generate between each other can shock you.
To use 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.
Do not bring neodymium magnets close to GPS and smartphones.
Magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
