Physical properties of NdFeB
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 coating 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, 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. It is advisable to avoid their use in acidic, basic, organic environments or where solvents are present, and also in water or oil. Furthermore, they can damage 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 humid conditions. Therefore, they are often coated with thin coatings, such as epoxy, to preserve them from external factors and extend their lifespan. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a loss of their magnetic strength, although there are specific types of neodymium magnets that can tolerate temperatures up to 230°C.
As for risks, it is important to avoid using neodymium magnets in acidic environments, basic environments, organic or solvent environments, unless they are adequately 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.
In addition to their remarkable pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- They have stable power, and over nearly ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields effectively,
- By applying a bright layer of silver, the element gains a clean look,
- They possess significant magnetic force measurable at the magnet’s surface,
- With the right combination of magnetic alloys, they reach excellent thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the form),
- With the option for tailored forming and personalized design, these magnets can be produced in numerous shapes and sizes, greatly improving engineering flexibility,
- Important function in cutting-edge sectors – they serve a purpose in hard drives, electric drives, medical equipment along with technologically developed systems,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer strong power in compact dimensions, which allows for use in miniature devices
Disadvantages of magnetic elements:
- They can break when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, it is suggested to place them in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture , and at the same time strengthens its overall robustness,
- Magnets lose magnetic efficiency when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible field weakening (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,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is advisable to use sealed magnets made of protective material for outdoor use,
- Limited ability to create precision features in the magnet – the use of a mechanical support is recommended,
- Safety concern linked to microscopic shards may arise, especially if swallowed, which is important in the family environments. Moreover, miniature parts from these magnets have the potential to complicate medical imaging if inside the body,
- Due to expensive raw materials, their cost is above average,
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what contributes to it?
The given pulling force of the magnet corresponds to the maximum force, assessed in the best circumstances, namely:
- with mild steel, used as a magnetic flux conductor
- of a thickness of at least 10 mm
- with a refined outer layer
- with no separation
- with vertical force applied
- under standard ambient temperature
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
The lifting capacity of a magnet is determined by in practice key elements, according to their importance:
- 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 assessed using a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap {between} the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Magnets are not toys, youngest should not play with them.
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.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to GPS and smartphones.
Neodymium magnets are a source of strong magnetic fields that cause interference with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Magnets will attract to each other, so remember not to allow them to pinch together without control or place your fingers in their path.
If joining of neodymium magnets is not controlled, 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 extremely firmly.
Neodymium magnetic are characterized by their fragility, which can cause them to become damaged.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by considerable fragility. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel surface, but they are not as hard as steel. At the moment of collision between the magnets, sharp metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
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.
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.
Neodymium magnets are the most powerful magnets ever created, and their power can shock you.
To use magnets properly, it is best to familiarize yourself with our information beforehand. This will help you avoid significant harm to your body and the magnets themselves.
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
Strong magnetic fields emitted by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other devices. In addition, they can damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from 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.
