Magnetic properties of material N38
Physical properties of NdFeB
Shopping tips
Moreover, although neodymium is a component of the strongest magnets, they are prone to corrosion in humid environments. Therefore, they are coated with a coating of gold-nickel to protect them from corrosion. 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. They should not be used in acidic, basic, organic environments or in solvents, as well as in water or oil. Furthermore, they can distort 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 humid conditions. Therefore, they are often covered with coatings, such as silver, to protect them from external factors and prolong their durability. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in a reduction of their magnetic properties, although there are specific types of neodymium magnets that can tolerate temperatures up to 230°C.
As for risks, 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 atmosphere containing hydrogen, as they may forfeit their magnetic properties.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from their superior magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
- They retain their attractive force for almost ten years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- Their ability to resist magnetic interference from external fields is among the best,
- Thanks to the polished finish and gold coating, they have an visually attractive appearance,
- 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 form),
- With the option for fine forming and precise design, these magnets can be produced in numerous shapes and sizes, greatly improving engineering flexibility,
- Significant impact in new technology industries – they find application in computer drives, electric drives, healthcare devices as well as sophisticated instruments,
- Thanks to their concentrated strength, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, with minimal size,
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a heavy impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, we recommend in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage , and at the same time increases its overall robustness,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the magnetic power of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent deterioration in performance (depending on shape). 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,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is wise to use sealed magnets made of synthetic coating for outdoor use,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the restrictions in manufacturing holes directly in the magnet,
- Possible threat due to small fragments may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is crucial in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny components from these products can disrupt scanning after being swallowed,
- Higher purchase price is an important factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what it depends on?
The given pulling force of the magnet corresponds to the maximum force, calculated in a perfect environment, that is:
- with mild steel, used as a magnetic flux conductor
- of a thickness of at least 10 mm
- with a smooth surface
- with no separation
- in a perpendicular direction of force
- in normal thermal conditions
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
In practice, the holding capacity of a magnet is affected by these factors, arranged from the most important to the least relevant:
- 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.
* Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Precautions
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly 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 can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Under specific conditions, Neodymium magnets may experience demagnetization when subjected to high temperatures.
Neodymium magnets are noted for being fragile, which can cause them to become damaged.
Neodymium magnetic are delicate as well as will shatter 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. At the moment of collision between the magnets, small sharp metal pieces can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
If you have a nickel allergy, avoid contact with neodymium magnets.
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.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought 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.
It is crucial not to allow the magnets to pinch together uncontrollably or place your fingers in their path as they attract to each other.
Magnets may crack or crumble with uncontrolled joining to each other. You can't approach them to each other. At a distance less than 10 cm you should have them very strongly.
Keep neodymium magnets away from TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
The strong magnetic field generated by neodymium magnets can destroy 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. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for 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.
It is essential to keep neodymium magnets out of reach from children.
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 severe injuries, and even death.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest, most remarkable magnets on earth, and the surprising force between them can surprise you at first.
