Shopping tips
Moreover, although neodymium is part of the strongest magnets, they are susceptible to corrosion in humid environments. Therefore, they are coated with a coating of epoxy to protect them from corrosion. Interestingly that NdFeB neodymium magnets are about 13% lighter than SmCo magnets and, despite their power, are brittle, 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 distort 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 sensitive to corrosion, especially in humid conditions. Therefore, they are often coated with thin coatings, such as nickel, to shield them from external factors and extend their lifespan. Temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in a reduction 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 wet conditions, oil, or in an atmosphere containing hydrogen, as they may forfeit their magnetic strength.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They do not lose their even over around ten years – the loss of power is only ~1% (according to tests),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields remarkably well,
- By applying a bright layer of silver, the element gains a clean look,
- They exhibit extremely high levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- These magnets tolerate high temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to profile),
- The ability for precise shaping or customization to custom needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in multiple variants of geometries, which amplifies their functionality across industries,
- Key role in cutting-edge sectors – they find application in hard drives, electric motors, medical equipment and sophisticated instruments,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they generate strong force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, we recommend in a steel housing. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture and additionally enhances its overall robustness,
- Magnets lose field strength when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible power drop (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,
- Magnets exposed to humidity can degrade. Therefore, for outdoor applications, it's best to use waterproof types made of plastic,
- Limited ability to create internal holes in the magnet – the use of a magnetic holder is recommended,
- Potential hazard related to magnet particles may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is notable in the health of young users. Furthermore, small elements from these products might complicate medical imaging once in the system,
- Due to the price of neodymium, their cost is considerably higher,
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?
The given pulling force of the magnet represents the maximum force, assessed under optimal conditions, specifically:
- with the use of low-carbon steel plate serving as a magnetic yoke
- of a thickness of at least 10 mm
- with a polished side
- in conditions of no clearance
- in a perpendicular direction of force
- in normal thermal conditions
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
The lifting capacity of a magnet is determined by in practice the following factors, ordered from most important to least significant:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, as even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause 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 testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be placed near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
Magnetic 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. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets should not be near 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.
Neodymium magnets are among the strongest magnets on Earth. The surprising force they generate between each other can surprise you.
On our website, you can find information on how to use neodymium magnets. This will help you avoid injuries and prevent damage to the magnets.
Keep neodymium magnets away from GPS and smartphones.
Magnetic fields can interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in aviation and maritime navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices. There are neodymium magnets in every smartphone, for example, in the microphone and speakers.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by their fragility, which can cause them to crumble.
Neodymium magnets are extremely delicate, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will break. 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.
Magnets will attract to each other, so remember not to allow them to pinch together without control or place your fingers in their path.
If have a finger between or on the path of attracting magnets, there may be a large cut or even a fracture.
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.
The magnet is coated with nickel. Therefore, exercise caution 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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
It is important to maintain neodymium magnets away from children.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Be cautious and make sure no child plays with them. Small magnets can pose a serious choking hazard. If multiple magnets are swallowed, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls, causing severe injuries, and even death.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Although magnets have shown to retain their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, this temperature may vary depending on the type of material, shape, and intended use of the magnet.
