Shopping tips
Moreover, even though neodymium is a component of the strongest magnets, they are prone to corrosion in humid environments. Therefore, they are coated with a thin layer of silver to increase their durability. 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. Therefore, any mechanical processing should be done before they are magnetized.
In terms of safety, there are many recommendations regarding the use of these magnets. It is advisable to avoid their use in acidic, basic, organic environments or where solvents are present, 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 humid conditions. Therefore, they are often covered with thin coatings, such as gold, to shield them from external factors and prolong their durability. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a deterioration of their magnetic strength, although there are particular 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 environments, basic conditions, organic or solvent environments, unless they are adequately 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 as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their exceptional field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- They retain their attractive force for nearly ten years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They are highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
- Because of the lustrous layer of gold, the component looks high-end,
- They have extremely strong magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- These magnets tolerate high temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to build),
- Thanks to the freedom in shaping and the capability to adapt to individual requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in different geometries, which expands their usage potential,
- Important function in advanced technical fields – they are utilized in computer drives, electric motors, healthcare devices and technologically developed systems,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they provide high effectiveness, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They may fracture when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, we recommend in a metal holder. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage while also strengthens its overall durability,
- They lose field intensity at high temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent decline in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the geometry and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- Magnets exposed to moisture can degrade. Therefore, for outdoor applications, it's best to use waterproof types made of rubber,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the limitations in manufacturing threads directly in the magnet,
- Health risk related to magnet particles may arise, especially if swallowed, which is crucial in the family environments. Furthermore, minuscule fragments from these devices can complicate medical imaging if inside the body,
- Higher purchase price is one of the drawbacks compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Safety Precautions
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields. As a result, they interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This happens because such devices have a function to deactivate them in a magnetic field.
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, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.
Neodymium magnets are a source of strong magnetic fields that cause interference with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Neodymium Magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
Neodymium magnets jump and clash mutually within a distance of several to almost 10 cm from each other.
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.
Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times more powerful, and their strength 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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Strong magnetic fields emitted by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other devices. In addition, they can damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
Magnets made of neodymium are extremely fragile, they easily break and can become damaged.
Neodymium magnetic are highly fragile, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will crack. Neodymium magnets 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.
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.
Neodymium magnets should not be around children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Be cautious and make sure no child plays 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.
