Shopping tips
Moreover, even though neodymium is part of the strongest magnets, they are prone to corrosion in humid environments. Therefore, they are coated with a thin layer of gold-nickel to protect them from corrosion. It's worth noting that NdFeB neodymium magnets are about 13% lighter than SmCo magnets and, despite their power, easily break, 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 many 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. 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 silver, to shield them from external factors and extend their lifespan. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a reduction of their magnetic properties, 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 conditions, basic environments, 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 lose their magnetic strength.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their remarkable magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- They retain their full power for around 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to magnetic surroundings,
- Because of the reflective layer of nickel, the component looks visually appealing,
- They exhibit extremely high levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- These magnets tolerate extreme temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to profile),
- Thanks to the flexibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to individual requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in diverse shapes and sizes, which increases their usage potential,
- Key role in modern technologies – they are used in hard drives, rotating machines, healthcare devices or even other advanced devices,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they deliver powerful magnetism, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, it is suggested to place them in a metal holder. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture while also enhances its overall robustness,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the magnetic power of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent weakening in performance (depending on size). 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,
- They rust in a wet environment. For outdoor use, we recommend using waterproof magnets, such as those made of rubber,
- Limited ability to create internal holes in the magnet – the use of a external casing is recommended,
- Possible threat from tiny pieces may arise, in case of ingestion, which is significant in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny components from these products may complicate medical imaging if inside the body,
- Higher purchase price is one of the drawbacks compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
The given holding capacity of the magnet means the highest holding force, calculated under optimal conditions, that is:
- with the use of low-carbon steel plate serving as a magnetic yoke
- having a thickness of no less than 10 millimeters
- with a smooth surface
- with no separation
- under perpendicular detachment force
- at room temperature
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
Practical lifting force is determined by factors, listed from the most critical to the less 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 determined by applying a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Handle Neodymium Magnets with Caution
Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and GPS.
Neodymium magnets generate intense magnetic fields that interfere with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Neodymium magnets should not be in the vicinity children.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. In such a situation, surgery is necessary to remove them. In the worst case scenario, it can result in death.
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.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Even though magnets have been observed 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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from the wallet, computer, and TV.
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 destroy videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets are highly delicate, they easily crack as well as can crumble.
Neodymium magnets are delicate and will shatter if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. Despite being made of metal as well as coated with a shiny nickel plating, they are not as hard as steel. At the moment of collision between the magnets, small sharp metal pieces can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
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.
The magnet coating contains nickel, so be cautious if you have a nickel 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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for 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.
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.
If have a finger between or on the path of attracting magnets, there may be a serious cut or a fracture.
