Shopping tips
Moreover, although 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 gold to protect them from corrosion. 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 where solvents are present, as well as in water or oil. Additionally, they can damage data on magnetic cards and hard drives, although data deletion using a neodymium magnet is not guaranteed.
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 silver, to preserve them from environmental factors and prolong their durability. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in a reduction of their magnetic properties, although there are particular 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 conditions, basic conditions, organic or solvent environments, unless they are adequately 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.
Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They retain their magnetic properties for nearly 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
- By applying a reflective layer of nickel, the element gains a sleek look,
- They exhibit elevated levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- Neodymium magnets are known for very high magnetic induction and the ability to work at temperatures up to 230°C or higher (depending on the geometry),
- The ability for custom shaping or customization to specific needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in multiple variants of geometries, which amplifies their functionality across industries,
- Significant impact in modern technologies – they are utilized in data storage devices, electric drives, healthcare devices as well as technologically developed systems,
- Thanks to their efficiency per volume, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, in miniature format,
Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, it is suggested to place them in a metal holder. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks and additionally increases its overall resistance,
- Magnets lose field strength when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible magnetic decay (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 wise to use sealed magnets made of rubber for outdoor use,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining multi-axis shapes in neodymium magnets is risky,
- Potential hazard due to small fragments may arise, in case of ingestion, which is significant in the context of child safety. Moreover, miniature parts from these assemblies have the potential to hinder health screening when ingested,
- Higher purchase price is one of the drawbacks compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Be Cautious with Neodymium Magnets
It is essential to maintain neodymium magnets out of reach from youngest 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.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to GPS and smartphones.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields that interfere with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
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. Even if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the entire device.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Although magnets have demonstrated their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, the temperature can vary depending on the type, shape, and intended use of the specific magnet.
Neodymium magnets are extremely fragile, resulting in breaking.
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, small metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest, most remarkable magnets on the planet, and the surprising force between them can surprise you at first.
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.
The strong magnetic field generated by neodymium magnets 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. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
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.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
Magnets attract each other within a distance of several to about 10 cm from each other. Remember not to insert fingers between magnets or in their path when they attract. Depending on how large the neodymium magnets are, they can lead to a cut or a fracture.
