Shopping tips
Moreover, even though neodymium is part of the strongest magnets, they are prone to corrosion in humid environments. For this reason, they are coated with a thin layer of gold-nickel to increase their durability. Interestingly that NdFeB neodymium magnets are about 13% lighter than SmCo magnets and, despite their power, are brittle, which requires special caution 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 where solvents are present, and also in water or oil. Additionally, 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 humid conditions. Therefore, they are often coated with coatings, such as epoxy, to shield them from environmental factors and extend their lifespan. Temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in a reduction of their magnetic strength, although there are specific types of neodymium magnets that can tolerate 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 environment containing hydrogen, as they may lose their magnetic properties.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They do not lose their even over nearly 10 years – the reduction of lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to magnetic surroundings,
- The use of a mirror-like silver surface provides a eye-catching finish,
- The outer field strength of the magnet shows advanced magnetic properties,
- With the right combination of materials, they reach excellent thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the design),
- With the option for tailored forming and targeted design, these magnets can be produced in numerous shapes and sizes, greatly improving design adaptation,
- Important function in new technology industries – they are used in data storage devices, rotating machines, clinical machines as well as sophisticated instruments,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer intense magnetic field in small dimensions, which makes them ideal in small systems
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, we recommend in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks while also reinforces its overall durability,
- Magnets lose pulling force when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible magnetic decay (influenced by the magnet’s structure). To address this, we provide [AH] models with superior thermal resistance, able to operate even at 230°C or more,
- They rust in a humid environment, especially when used outside, we recommend using sealed magnets, such as those made of plastic,
- Limited ability to create threads in the magnet – the use of a mechanical support is recommended,
- Potential hazard linked to microscopic shards may arise, especially if swallowed, which is important in the context of child safety. Moreover, tiny components from these devices have the potential to interfere with diagnostics when ingested,
- In cases of tight budgets, neodymium magnet cost may not be economically viable,
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?
The given strength of the magnet represents the optimal strength, determined in the best circumstances, that is:
- with the use of low-carbon steel plate acting as a magnetic yoke
- having a thickness of no less than 10 millimeters
- with a polished side
- in conditions of no clearance
- in a perpendicular direction of force
- in normal thermal conditions
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
Practical lifting force is determined by factors, 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.
* Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Precautions
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.
Magnets made of neodymium are delicate and can easily break and shatter.
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. 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.
The magnet is coated with nickel - be careful if you have an 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.
You should keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Strong fields generated by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other similar devices. In addition, they can damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets are among the most powerful magnets on Earth. The surprising force they generate between each other can shock you.
On our website, you can find information on how to use neodymium magnets. This will help you avoid injuries and prevent damage to the magnets.
Magnets are not toys, youngest should not play with them.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. In such a situation, surgery is necessary to remove them. In the worst case scenario, it can result in death.
Neodymium magnets should not be near people with pacemakers.
In the case of neodymium magnets, there is a strong magnetic field. As a result, it interferes 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.
Despite the general resilience of magnets, their ability to maintain their magnetic potency can be influenced by factors like the type of material used, the magnet's shape, and the intended purpose for which it is employed.
Neodymium Magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
Neodymium magnets bounce and clash mutually within a distance of several to almost 10 cm from each other.
Do not bring neodymium magnets 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.
