Shopping tips
Moreover, even though 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 epoxy 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 special caution during their handling. Therefore, 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 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 sensitive to corrosion, especially in humid conditions. Therefore, they are often covered with coatings, such as gold, to shield them from environmental factors and extend their lifespan. High 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 risks, it is important to avoid using neodymium magnets in acidic conditions, basic environments, organic or solvent environments, unless they are adequately insulated. Additionally, their use is not recommended in wet conditions, oil, or in an atmosphere containing hydrogen, as they may forfeit their magnetic strength.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- Their magnetic field remains stable, and after around 10 years, it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by ambient magnetic influence remarkably well,
- Thanks to the shiny finish and silver coating, they have an elegant appearance,
- They have exceptional magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- These magnets tolerate extreme temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to profile),
- The ability for accurate shaping or adaptation to custom needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which enhances their versatility in applications,
- Wide application in new technology industries – they serve a purpose in computer drives, electromechanical systems, diagnostic apparatus and high-tech tools,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they deliver powerful magnetism, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, it is advisable to use in a steel housing. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage and additionally increases its overall resistance,
- They lose strength at high temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent degradation in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the dimensions and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is common to use sealed magnets made of protective material for outdoor use,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining internal cuts in neodymium magnets is not feasible,
- Possible threat due to small fragments may arise, in case of ingestion, which is important in the family environments. Moreover, miniature parts from these products might interfere with diagnostics if inside the body,
- High unit cost – neodymium magnets are pricier 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 pulling force of the magnet corresponds to the maximum force, assessed in a perfect environment, specifically:
- with mild steel, serving as a magnetic flux conductor
- with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
- with a refined outer layer
- in conditions of no clearance
- in a perpendicular direction of force
- in normal thermal conditions
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
Practical lifting force is dependent on elements, listed from the most critical to the less significant:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) causes 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 the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a small distance {between} the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.
Handle Neodymium Magnets with Caution
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 magnetic are highly fragile, they easily break as well as can become damaged.
Magnets made of neodymium are fragile and 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. In the case of a collision between two magnets, there can be a scattering of small sharp metal fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is essential.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
Magnets will crack or alternatively crumble with uncontrolled joining to each other. You can't approach them to each other. At a distance less than 10 cm you should hold them extremely firmly.
Maintain neodymium magnets far 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.
The magnet is coated with nickel - be careful 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, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest, most remarkable magnets on the planet, and the surprising force between them can surprise you at first.

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. They can also damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.
Neodymium magnets produce intense magnetic fields that interfere with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Neodymium magnets should not be near people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate very strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This happens because such devices have a function to deactivate them in a magnetic field.
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.
