Shopping tips
Moreover, even though neodymium is a component of the strongest magnets, they are prone to corrosion in humid environments. Therefore, they are coated with a thin layer of silver to protect them from corrosion. 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 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. 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 thin coatings, such as nickel, to shield them from external factors and prolong their durability. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in a loss 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 conditions, basic environments, 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 lose their magnetic strength.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They do not lose their even over around ten years – the decrease of power is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the shiny finish and silver coating, they have an aesthetic appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is notably high,
- These magnets tolerate elevated temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to profile),
- Thanks to the possibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to specific requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in diverse shapes and sizes, which increases their functional possibilities,
- Key role in new technology industries – they find application in data storage devices, electric motors, medical equipment or even sophisticated instruments,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they provide high effectiveness, 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, they should be placed in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks , and at the same time reinforces its overall resistance,
- They lose strength at high temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent decline in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the shape 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 wise to use sealed magnets made of synthetic coating for outdoor use,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining multi-axis shapes in neodymium magnets is restricted,
- Safety concern related to magnet particles may arise, especially if swallowed, which is notable in the protection of children. Moreover, miniature parts from these products can complicate medical imaging once in the system,
- In cases of tight budgets, neodymium magnet cost may not be economically viable,
Handle Neodymium Magnets with Caution
Magnets made of neodymium are incredibly delicate, they easily fall apart and can crumble.
Neodymium magnets are fragile as well as will shatter if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. Despite being made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel plating, they are not as hard as steel. 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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
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. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
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.
The magnet coating is made of nickel, so be cautious 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, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
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 are among the most powerful magnets on Earth. The astonishing force they generate between each other can surprise you.

Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and GPS.
Magnetic fields interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation for air and sea transport, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Magnets are not toys, youngest should not play with them.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Be cautious and make sure no child plays 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.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
If the joining of neodymium magnets is not controlled, at that time 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 firmly.
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.
