Shopping tips
Moreover, even though 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. It's worth noting 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 in solvents, as well as in water or oil. Additionally, they can distort 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 susceptible to corrosion, especially in conditions of high humidity. Therefore, they are often covered with coatings, such as epoxy, to shield them from external factors and extend their lifespan. Temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a deterioration of their magnetic strength, although there are specific types of neodymium magnets that can tolerate temperatures up to 230°C.
As for dangers, it is important to avoid using neodymium magnets in acidic conditions, basic conditions, organic or solvent environments, unless they are properly protected. Additionally, their use is not recommended in water, oil, or in an atmosphere containing hydrogen, as they may lose their magnetic strength.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their remarkable strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- They do not lose their even over around ten years – the loss of power is only ~1% (according to tests),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic sources,
- Because of the lustrous layer of gold, the component looks visually appealing,
- They exhibit extremely high levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- With the right combination of materials, they reach increased thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the design),
- Thanks to the possibility 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 utilized in hard drives, electromechanical systems, medical equipment or even other advanced devices,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer strong power in small dimensions, which allows for use in compact constructions
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a powerful 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 breakage , and at the same time enhances its overall strength,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the magnetic power 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,
- They rust in a damp environment, especially when used outside, we recommend using encapsulated magnets, such as those made of plastic,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining internal cuts in neodymium magnets is difficult,
- Potential hazard linked to microscopic shards may arise, in case of ingestion, which is crucial in the protection of children. Furthermore, miniature parts from these magnets may disrupt scanning when ingested,
- Due to the price of neodymium, their cost is above average,
Precautions
Neodymium magnets are fragile as well as can easily crack as well as shatter.
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. 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 can become demagnetized 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.
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
The strong magnetic field generated by neodymium magnets can destroy 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. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
The magnet is coated with nickel - be careful 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.
Do not bring neodymium magnets close to 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.
It is crucial not to allow the magnets to pinch together uncontrollably or place your fingers in their path as they attract to each other.
If have a finger between or alternatively on the path of attracting magnets, there may be a severe cut or a fracture.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest, most remarkable magnets on earth, and the surprising force between them can shock you at first.
Familiarize yourself with our information to properly handle these magnets and avoid significant injuries to your body and prevent damage to the magnets.
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.
Magnets should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for children to have access to them.
Remember that 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.
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.
Exercise caution!
