Physical properties of NdFeB
Shopping tips
Moreover, although neodymium is part of the strongest magnets, they are prone to corrosion in humid environments. Therefore, they are coated with a coating of gold-nickel to increase their durability. Interestingly 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 several recommendations regarding the use of these magnets. They should not be used in acidic, basic, organic environments or in solvents, and also in water or oil. Additionally, 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 conditions of high humidity. Therefore, they are often coated with coatings, such as nickel, to protect them from environmental factors and prolong their durability. Temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a loss of their magnetic strength, although there are particular 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 environments, organic or solvent environments, unless they are properly protected. Additionally, their use is not recommended in wet conditions, oil, or in an environment containing hydrogen, as they may forfeit their magnetic properties.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from their consistent magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
- They retain their attractive force for nearly ten years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
- Their ability to resist magnetic interference from external fields is impressive,
- Thanks to the polished finish and silver coating, they have an elegant appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is notably high,
- These magnets tolerate extreme temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to build),
- With the option for tailored forming and precise design, these magnets can be produced in multiple shapes and sizes, greatly improving engineering flexibility,
- Wide application in cutting-edge sectors – they serve a purpose in HDDs, electric motors, healthcare devices as well as high-tech tools,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer strong power in compact dimensions, which makes them ideal in compact constructions
Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, it is suggested to place them in a steel housing. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks while also reinforces its overall strength,
- They lose power at increased temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent degradation in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the geometry and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- They rust in a wet environment, especially when used outside, we recommend using encapsulated magnets, such as those made of rubber,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining fine details in neodymium magnets is difficult,
- Potential hazard due to small fragments may arise, in case of ingestion, which is significant in the health of young users. Furthermore, tiny components from these products have the potential to disrupt scanning once in the system,
- Due to the price of neodymium, their cost is above average,
Be Cautious with Neodymium Magnets
It is important to keep neodymium magnets out of reach from youngest 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.
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.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by being fragile, which can cause them to crumble.
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. At the moment of connection between the magnets, tiny sharp metal pieces can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
In the case of holding a finger in the path of a neodymium magnet, in such a case, a cut or even a fracture may occur.
Neodymium magnets are among the strongest magnets on Earth. The surprising force they generate between each other can surprise 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.
If you have a nickel allergy, avoid contact with neodymium magnets.
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, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for 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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from GPS and smartphones.
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.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Despite the general resilience of magnets, their ability to maintain their magnetic potency can be influenced by factors like the type of material used, the magnet's shape, and the intended purpose for which it is employed.
Keep neodymium magnets away from the wallet, computer, and TV.
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, etc. devices. They can also damage videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from these electronic devices.
