Shopping tips
Moreover, even though neodymium is part of the strongest magnets, they are susceptible 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, 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 several 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. Furthermore, they can damage 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 sensitive to corrosion, especially in conditions of high humidity. Therefore, they are often coated with thin coatings, such as nickel, to shield them from external factors and prolong their durability. Temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in a loss of their magnetic properties, although there are specific types of neodymium magnets that can withstand temperatures up to 230°C.
As for dangers, it is important to avoid using neodymium magnets in acidic environments, basic environments, 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 forfeit their magnetic properties.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from their notable magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
- They retain their magnetic properties for around ten years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by ambient magnetic fields very well,
- By applying a shiny layer of gold, the element gains a sleek look,
- They exhibit superior levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- With the right combination of magnetic alloys, they reach significant thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the form),
- The ability for accurate shaping or adjustment to individual 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 data storage devices, rotating machines, clinical machines as well as high-tech tools,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they deliver powerful magnetism, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of magnetic elements:
- They can break when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to mechanical hits, it is advisable to use in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks and additionally enhances its overall strength,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the holding force 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,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is recommended to use sealed magnets made of protective material for outdoor use,
- Limited ability to create internal holes in the magnet – the use of a external casing is recommended,
- Potential hazard from tiny pieces may arise, when consumed by mistake, which is significant in the health of young users. Additionally, miniature parts from these magnets may disrupt scanning after being swallowed,
- In cases of large-volume purchasing, neodymium magnet cost may be a barrier,
Highest magnetic holding force – what contributes to it?
The given strength of the magnet corresponds to the optimal strength, measured in ideal conditions, that is:
- with mild steel, serving as a magnetic flux conductor
- with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
- with a smooth surface
- with no separation
- with vertical force applied
- at room temperature
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
In practice, the holding capacity of a magnet is conditioned by the following aspects, arranged from the most important to the least relevant:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, since 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.
* Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.
Handle with Care: Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize 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 can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
Magnets will attract each other within a distance of several to about 10 cm from each other. Remember not to insert fingers between magnets or in their path when they attract. Depending on how massive the neodymium magnets are, they can lead to a cut or 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.
Neodymium magnets are among the strongest magnets on Earth. The astonishing force they generate between each other can shock you.
Make sure to review all the information we have provided. This will help you avoid harm to your body and damage to the magnets.
Keep neodymium magnets away from GPS and smartphones.
Magnetic fields interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation for air and sea transport, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS 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 is because many of these devices are equipped with a function that deactivates the device in a magnetic field.
Magnets made of neodymium are highly susceptible to damage, resulting in shattering.
Magnets made of neodymium are fragile and will shatter if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. 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 fragments can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
Do not place neodymium magnets near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
The strong magnetic field generated by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, etc. devices. They can also damage devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
If you have a nickel allergy, avoid contact with neodymium magnets.
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.
Neodymium magnets should not be around youngest children.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play 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 significant injuries, and even death.
