Physical properties of NdFeB
Shopping tips
Moreover, even though neodymium is a component 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 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 care 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. It is advisable to avoid their use 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 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 coatings, such as epoxy, to preserve them from environmental factors and prolong their durability. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in a loss of their magnetic properties, 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 properly protected. Additionally, their use is not recommended in wet conditions, oil, or in an atmosphere containing hydrogen, as they may forfeit their magnetic strength.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from their consistent holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years, the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to magnetic noise,
- Thanks to the polished finish and nickel coating, they have an aesthetic appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is very strong,
- Neodymium magnets are known for very high magnetic induction and the ability to work at temperatures up to 230°C or higher (depending on the geometry),
- With the option for fine forming and personalized design, these magnets can be produced in numerous shapes and sizes, greatly improving engineering flexibility,
- Significant impact in advanced technical fields – they are utilized in HDDs, electromechanical systems, medical equipment along with other advanced devices,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer strong power in small dimensions, which makes them ideal in miniature devices
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, we recommend in a steel housing. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage while also increases its overall strength,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the field efficiency of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent deterioration in performance (depending on height). 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 advisable to use sealed magnets made of rubber for outdoor use,
- Limited ability to create internal holes in the magnet – the use of a magnetic holder is recommended,
- Possible threat related to magnet particles may arise, in case of ingestion, which is significant in the family environments. It should also be noted that tiny components from these devices may complicate medical imaging when ingested,
- Due to expensive raw materials, their cost is above average,
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?
The given lifting capacity of the magnet means the maximum lifting force, assessed in the best circumstances, specifically:
- with mild steel, used 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
What influences lifting capacity in practice
In practice, the holding capacity of a magnet is affected by the following aspects, arranged from the most important to the least relevant:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, as 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.
* Lifting capacity was measured by applying a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
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. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
If the joining of neodymium magnets is not under control, then they may crumble and crack. You can't move them to each other. At a distance less than 10 cm you should hold them very strongly.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.
Neodymium magnets are a source of intense magnetic fields that cause interference with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever created, and their power 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.
Avoid contact with neodymium magnets if you have a nickel 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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from 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.
Maintain neodymium magnets far from children.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. In the case of small magnets, they can be swallowed and cause choking. In such cases, the only solution is to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and otherwise, it can even lead to death.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Although magnets have shown to retain their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, this temperature may vary depending on the type of material, shape, and intended use of the magnet.
Do not place neodymium magnets near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
Magnetic 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. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
Magnets made of neodymium are particularly delicate, resulting in shattering.
Magnets made of neodymium are fragile as well as will crack 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, tiny sharp metal fragments can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
