Shopping tips
Moreover, although 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 nickel to increase their durability. It's worth noting that NdFeB neodymium magnets are about 13% lighter than SmCo magnets and, despite their power, are brittle, 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 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 sensitive to corrosion, especially in humid conditions. Therefore, they are often coated with coatings, such as nickel, to shield them from environmental factors and extend their lifespan. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a reduction 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 insulated. Additionally, their use is not recommended in wet conditions, oil, or in an atmosphere containing hydrogen, as they may lose their magnetic strength.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from their superior power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
- They do not lose their even during nearly 10 years – the decrease of power is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to magnetic surroundings,
- The use of a polished nickel surface provides a eye-catching finish,
- They possess significant magnetic force measurable at the magnet’s surface,
- Thanks to their enhanced temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the geometry) even at temperatures up to 230°C or more,
- Thanks to the freedom in shaping and the capability to adapt to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in diverse shapes and sizes, which increases their functional possibilities,
- Important function in advanced technical fields – they are utilized in computer drives, electromechanical systems, diagnostic apparatus and sophisticated instruments,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they provide high effectiveness, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of NdFeB 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 metal holder. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage , and at the same time enhances its overall robustness,
- 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,
- Magnets exposed to humidity can corrode. Therefore, for outdoor applications, it's best to use waterproof types made of non-metallic composites,
- Limited ability to create internal holes in the magnet – the use of a external casing is recommended,
- Safety concern linked to microscopic shards may arise, in case of ingestion, which is notable in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements from these magnets might complicate medical imaging if inside the body,
- High unit cost – neodymium magnets are costlier than other types of magnets (e.g., ferrite), which can restrict large-scale applications
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what affects it?
The given pulling force of the magnet means the maximum force, assessed 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 refined outer layer
- with zero air gap
- in a perpendicular direction of force
- at room temperature
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
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.
* Lifting capacity was determined using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Handle Neodymium Magnets Carefully
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets generate very strong magnetic fields that can 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.
You should maintain neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Neodymium magnets generate intense magnetic fields that can destroy magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, or other devices. They can also destroy devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from these electronic devices.
Neodymium Magnets can attract to each other due to their immense internal force, causing the skin and other body parts to get pinched and resulting in significant injuries.
In the case of holding a finger in the path of a neodymium magnet, in such a case, a cut or a fracture may occur.
Neodymium magnets are among the strongest magnets on Earth. The astonishing force they generate between each other can surprise you.

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.
It is important to maintain neodymium magnets away from children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. In such a situation, surgery is necessary to remove them. In the worst case scenario, it can result in death.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.
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.
Neodymium magnetic are delicate as well as can easily break and get damaged.
In the event of a collision between two neodymium magnets, it can result in them getting chipped. 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 become demagnetized at high temperatures.
While Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetic properties at high temperatures, it's important to note that the extent of this effect can vary based on factors such as the magnet's material, shape, and intended application.
The magnet coating is made of nickel, so be cautious 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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
