Shopping tips
Moreover, although neodymium is part of the strongest magnets, they are susceptible to corrosion in humid environments. For this reason, they are coated with a coating 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 special caution during their handling. For this reason, 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 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 susceptible to corrosion, especially in conditions of high humidity. Therefore, they are often coated with coatings, such as epoxy, to preserve them from environmental factors and prolong their durability. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a loss of their magnetic strength, although there are specific types of neodymium magnets that can withstand temperatures up to 230°C.
As for risks, 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 environment containing hydrogen, as they may forfeit their magnetic properties.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
- They do not lose their even over around 10 years – the loss of strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- Their ability to resist magnetic interference from external fields is among the best,
- Thanks to the shiny finish and nickel coating, they have an elegant appearance,
- They have very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- Thanks to their exceptional temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C or more,
- Thanks to the possibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in different geometries, which broadens their usage potential,
- Wide application in cutting-edge sectors – they serve a purpose in hard drives, rotating machines, diagnostic apparatus or even high-tech tools,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling strength in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, it is advisable to use in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage and strengthens its overall robustness,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the holding force of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent loss 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,
- Magnets exposed to wet conditions can oxidize. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we recommend waterproof types made of coated materials,
- Limited ability to create complex details in the magnet – the use of a magnetic holder is recommended,
- Health risk from tiny pieces may arise, in case of ingestion, which is important in the health of young users. It should also be noted that small elements from these magnets might disrupt scanning after being swallowed,
- In cases of mass production, neodymium magnet cost may be a barrier,
Be Cautious with Neodymium Magnets
It is important to maintain neodymium magnets out of reach from children.
Not all neodymium magnets are toys, so do not let children play with them. In the case of small magnets, they can be swallowed and cause choking. In such cases, the only solution is to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and otherwise, it can even lead to death.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Although magnets have demonstrated their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, the temperature can vary depending on the type, shape, and intended use of the specific magnet.
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.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to GPS and smartphones.
Neodymium magnets produce intense magnetic fields that interfere with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
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 injuries.
In the case of holding a finger in the path of a neodymium magnet, in such a case, a cut or a fracture may occur.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever invented. Their power can shock you.
Read the information on our website on how to properly utilize neodymium magnets and avoid significant harm to your body and unintentional damage to the magnets.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be placed near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
Strong 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. They can also damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
Magnets made of neodymium are particularly fragile, resulting in their breakage.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by considerable fragility. Magnets made of neodymium are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel, but they are not as durable as steel. In the event of a collision between two magnets, there may be a scattering of fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is crucial in such a situation.
Avoid contact with neodymium magnets 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, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
