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 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, 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 sensitive to corrosion, especially in conditions of high humidity. Therefore, they are often covered with coatings, such as nickel, to shield them from environmental factors and extend their lifespan. Temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a reduction of their magnetic strength, although there are particular types of neodymium magnets that can withstand temperatures up to 230°C.
As for dangers, 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 water, oil, or in an environment containing hydrogen, as they may lose their magnetic strength.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their tremendous field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- They do not lose their strength around 10 years – the loss of strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- Their ability to resist magnetic interference from external fields is notable,
- Because of the reflective layer of nickel, the component looks aesthetically refined,
- They possess significant magnetic force measurable at the magnet’s surface,
- Neodymium magnets are known for strong magnetic induction and the ability to work at temperatures up to 230°C or higher (depending on the shape),
- Thanks to the flexibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in different geometries, which expands their usage potential,
- Important function in advanced technical fields – they are used in computer drives, electric drives, medical equipment or even high-tech tools,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they deliver powerful magnetism, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, it is suggested to place them in a steel housing. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks , and at the same time strengthens its overall durability,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the field efficiency of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent deterioration in performance (depending on shape). To prevent this, we offer heat-resistant magnets marked [AH], capable of working up to 230°C, which makes them perfect for high-temperature use,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is wise to use sealed magnets made of protective material for outdoor use,
- Limited ability to create internal holes in the magnet – the use of a housing is recommended,
- Safety concern from tiny pieces may arise, when consumed by mistake, which is crucial in the health of young users. Moreover, minuscule fragments from these products might interfere with diagnostics after being swallowed,
- High unit cost – neodymium magnets are costlier than other types of magnets (e.g., ferrite), which may limit large-scale applications
Handle Neodymium Magnets with Caution
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever invented. Their strength can surprise you.
Make sure to review all the information we have provided. This will help you avoid harm to your body and damage to the magnets.
Neodymium magnets are extremely fragile, they easily break as well as can 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. 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.
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.
Neodymium magnets should not be near people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can interfere 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.
You should keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
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. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
Neodymium Magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
If the joining of neodymium magnets is not controlled, then they may crumble and also crack. Remember not to approach them to each other or have them firmly in hands at a distance less than 10 cm.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or 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.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly 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.
Do not give neodymium magnets to children.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. Small magnets pose a serious choking hazard or can attract to each other in the intestines. In such cases, the only solution is to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and otherwise, it can even lead to death.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
While Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetic properties at high temperatures, it's important to note that the extent of this effect can vary based on factors such as the magnet's material, shape, and intended application.
