Physical properties of NdFeB
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 thin layer of epoxy to protect them from corrosion. It's worth noting that NdFeB neodymium magnets are about 13% lighter than SmCo magnets and, despite their power, are brittle, 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. It is advisable to avoid their use in acidic, basic, organic environments or in solvents, and also in water or oil. Furthermore, 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 conditions of high humidity. Therefore, they are often coated with coatings, such as nickel, to shield them from environmental factors and prolong their durability. Temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in a loss of their magnetic strength, 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 environments, basic conditions, organic or solvent environments, unless they are insulated. Additionally, their use is not recommended in water, oil, or in an environment containing hydrogen, as they may forfeit their magnetic strength.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from their notable magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
- They do not lose their power around ten years – the reduction of power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to magnetic surroundings,
- The use of a polished nickel surface provides a eye-catching finish,
- They exhibit extremely high levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- 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),
- The ability for precise shaping and customization to custom needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in multiple variants of geometries, which amplifies their functionality across industries,
- Wide application in modern technologies – they are used in data storage devices, electric drives, diagnostic apparatus as well as other advanced devices,
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, with minimal size,
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a strong 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 fracture , and at the same time strengthens its overall robustness,
- Magnets lose pulling force when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible magnetic decay (influenced by the magnet’s dimensions). 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,
- Limited ability to create complex details in the magnet – the use of a external casing is recommended,
- Potential hazard related to magnet particles may arise, when consumed by mistake, which is crucial in the context of child safety. Moreover, miniature parts from these magnets can hinder health screening if inside the body,
- Higher purchase price is an important factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what it depends on?
The given pulling force of the magnet represents the maximum force, measured in the best circumstances, namely:
- using a steel plate with low carbon content, acting as a magnetic circuit closure
- having a thickness of no less than 10 millimeters
- with a smooth surface
- with no separation
- with vertical force applied
- under standard ambient temperature
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
The lifting capacity of a magnet depends on in practice key elements, ordered from most important to least significant:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) causes a drop in lifting force of up to 50%.
- Direction of applied force, because the maximum lifting capacity is achieved under perpendicular application. The force required to slide the magnet along the plate is usually several times lower.
- Thickness of the plate, as a plate that is too thin causes part of the magnetic flux not to be used and to remain wasted in the air.
- Material of the plate, because higher carbon content lowers holding force, while higher iron content increases it. The best choice is steel with high magnetic permeability and high saturation induction.
- Surface of the plate, because the more smooth and polished it is, the better the contact and consequently the greater the magnetic saturation.
- Operating temperature, since all permanent magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. This means that at high temperatures they are weaker, while at sub-zero temperatures they become slightly stronger.
* Lifting capacity was measured using a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.
Handle Neodymium Magnets with Caution
Neodymium magnets are the strongest, most remarkable magnets on the planet, and the surprising force between them can shock you at first.
To handle 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.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
Magnets will bounce and also touch together within a distance of several to around 10 cm from each other.
Avoid contact with neodymium magnets if you have a nickel 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 around youngest children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play 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.
Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and GPS.
Neodymium magnets are a source of strong magnetic fields that cause interference with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
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, or other devices. They can also destroy devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets away from these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Whilst Neodymium magnets can demagnetize 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.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for 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. Even if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the entire device.
Neodymium magnetic are especially fragile, resulting in damage.
In the event of a collision between two neodymium magnets, it can result in them getting chipped. 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.
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.
Pay attention!
