Shopping tips
Moreover, although 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 gold to increase their durability. Interestingly that NdFeB neodymium magnets are about 13% lighter than SmCo magnets and, despite their power, easily break, which requires special caution 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, 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 conditions of high humidity. Therefore, they are often covered with thin coatings, such as epoxy, to shield them from environmental factors and extend their lifespan. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in a loss of their magnetic properties, although there are particular types of neodymium magnets that can withstand temperatures up to 230°C.
As for dangers, it is important to avoid using neodymium magnets in acidic conditions, 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 properties.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their remarkable magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- They have constant strength, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They are highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external field interference,
- By applying a shiny layer of silver, the element gains a modern look,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is notably high,
- With the right combination of materials, they reach significant thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the form),
- With the option for tailored forming and targeted design, these magnets can be produced in numerous shapes and sizes, greatly improving application potential,
- Important function in new technology industries – they find application in hard drives, rotating machines, diagnostic apparatus or even other advanced devices,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling strength in small dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, it is suggested to place them in a steel housing. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks while also increases its overall durability,
- Magnets lose magnetic efficiency when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible performance loss (influenced by the magnet’s dimensions). To address this, we provide [AH] models with superior thermal resistance, able to operate even at 230°C or more,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is common to use sealed magnets made of protective material for outdoor use,
- Limited ability to create precision features in the magnet – the use of a housing is recommended,
- Possible threat related to magnet particles may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is important in the family environments. Furthermore, miniature parts from these products might complicate medical imaging once in the system,
- High unit cost – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g., ferrite), which may limit large-scale applications
Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
Keep neodymium magnets away from people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a heart pacemaker. However, if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the device when it is in a magnetic field.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Even though magnets have been found to maintain their efficacy up to temperatures of 80°C or 175°F, it's essential to consider that this threshold may fluctuate depending on the magnet's type, configuration, and intended usage.
Magnets made of neodymium are especially delicate, resulting in shattering.
Neodymium magnetic are highly delicate, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will crack. Magnets made of neodymium are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel, but they are not as durable as steel. At the moment of collision between the magnets, small metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
You should keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields that can damage 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 primarily characterized by their significant internal force. They attract to each other, and any object that comes in their way will be affected.
If have a finger between or alternatively on the path of attracting magnets, there may be a large cut or a fracture.
Neodymium magnets are among the strongest magnets on Earth. The surprising force they generate between each other can surprise you.
Read the information on our website on how to properly utilize neodymium magnets and avoid significant harm to your body and unintentional disruption to the magnets.
Do not give neodymium magnets to children.
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.
Avoid contact with neodymium magnets 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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from GPS and smartphones.
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.
