Shopping tips
Moreover, even though neodymium is a component of the strongest magnets, they are prone to corrosion in humid environments. For this reason, they are coated with a thin layer of silver 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 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. Additionally, 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 sensitive to corrosion, especially in conditions of high humidity. Therefore, they are often covered with thin coatings, such as nickel, to shield them from external factors and extend their lifespan. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in a loss of their magnetic properties, 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 wet conditions, oil, or in an atmosphere containing hydrogen, as they may lose their magnetic strength.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- Their power is durable, and after around 10 years, it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by external electromagnetic environments very well,
- Because of the brilliant layer of gold, the component looks aesthetically refined,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is impressively powerful,
- They are suitable for high-temperature applications, operating effectively at 230°C+ due to advanced heat resistance and form-specific properties,
- The ability for custom shaping or adjustment to specific needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in multiple variants of geometries, which amplifies their functionality across industries,
- Important function in advanced technical fields – they serve a purpose in hard drives, electric motors, healthcare devices as well as other advanced devices,
- Thanks to their concentrated strength, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, in miniature format,
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They may fracture when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, they should be placed in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage while also increases 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 profile). 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 rust. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we suggest waterproof types made of rubber,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining internal cuts in neodymium magnets is not feasible,
- Health risk related to magnet particles may arise, especially if swallowed, which is significant in the protection of children. Additionally, tiny components from these devices can hinder health screening when ingested,
- Higher purchase price is one of the drawbacks compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
The given lifting capacity of the magnet means the maximum lifting force, assessed in ideal conditions, that is:
- with the use of low-carbon steel plate acting as a magnetic yoke
- with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
- with a refined outer layer
- with no separation
- with vertical force applied
- in normal thermal conditions
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
Practical lifting force is dependent on elements, listed from the most critical to the less significant:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, because 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 testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a slight gap {between} the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
Handle with Care: Neodymium Magnets
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be placed near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can destroy magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, or other devices. They can also damage devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets away from these 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 magnetic are fragile as well as can easily crack and shatter.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by considerable fragility. 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, sharp metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from GPS and smartphones.
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.
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.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Under specific conditions, Neodymium magnets may experience demagnetization when subjected to high temperatures.
Neodymium magnets are primarily characterized by their significant internal force. They attract to each other, and any object that comes in their way will be affected.
Magnets will crack or crumble with uncontrolled joining to each other. Remember not to move them to each other or hold them firmly in hands at a distance less than 10 cm.
Neodymium magnets are among the strongest magnets on Earth. The astonishing force they generate between each other can shock you.
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.
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, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
