Shopping tips
Moreover, even though neodymium is part of the strongest magnets, they are susceptible to corrosion in humid environments. Therefore, they are coated with a thin layer of 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. 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. It is advisable to avoid their use in acidic, basic, organic environments or where solvents are present, 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 susceptible to corrosion, especially in humid conditions. Therefore, they are often coated with thin coatings, such as gold, to shield them from external factors and extend their lifespan. Temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a reduction of their magnetic properties, although there are specific types of neodymium magnets that can withstand temperatures up to 230°C.
As for potential dangers, it is important to avoid using neodymium magnets in acidic conditions, 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 forfeit their magnetic properties.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years, the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
- They are highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic sources,
- Because of the lustrous layer of silver, the component looks visually appealing,
- They possess strong magnetic force measurable at the magnet’s surface,
- Thanks to their high temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the geometry) even at temperatures up to 230°C or more,
- With the option for tailored forming and precise design, these magnets can be produced in multiple shapes and sizes, greatly improving engineering flexibility,
- Important function in advanced technical fields – they are used in computer drives, rotating machines, healthcare devices or even high-tech tools,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling strength in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems
Disadvantages of magnetic elements:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, they should be placed in a metal holder. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage while also increases its overall durability,
- They lose magnetic force at elevated temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent reduction in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the form 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 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,
- Potential hazard linked to microscopic shards may arise, in case of ingestion, which is notable in the protection of children. It should also be noted that small elements from these devices have the potential to complicate medical imaging after being swallowed,
- Due to a complex production process, their cost is considerably higher,
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.
Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and GPS.
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.
Do not give neodymium magnets to children.
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.
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.
Neodymium magnetic are noted for their fragility, which can cause them to become damaged.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by significant fragility. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel, but they are not as durable as steel. At the moment of collision between the magnets, small metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
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 swellings.
Magnets will jump and also contact together within a radius of several to around 10 cm from each other.
Neodymium magnets are over 10 times stronger than ferrite magnets (the ones in speakers), 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.
The magnet is coated with nickel. Therefore, exercise caution 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.
Do not place neodymium magnets near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields that can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, or other devices. They can also destroy videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized 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.
