Shopping tips
Moreover, although 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 gold to protect them from corrosion. 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 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 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 covered with coatings, such as silver, to preserve them from external factors and prolong their durability. Temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a reduction of their magnetic properties, although there are particular types of neodymium magnets that can tolerate temperatures up to 230°C.
As for potential dangers, it is important to avoid using neodymium magnets in acidic conditions, basic conditions, organic or solvent environments, unless they are adequately insulated. Additionally, their use is not recommended in water, oil, or in an environment containing hydrogen, as they may lose their magnetic strength.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
- They do not lose their even during around 10 years – the decrease of strength is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They show exceptional resistance to demagnetization from outside magnetic sources,
- The use of a polished nickel surface provides a refined finish,
- They have exceptional magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- Thanks to their enhanced temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the geometry) even at temperatures up to 230°C or more,
- Thanks to the possibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to specific requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in different geometries, which expands their functional possibilities,
- Important function in advanced technical fields – they are utilized in computer drives, rotating machines, clinical machines as well as other advanced devices,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they generate strong force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
- They may fracture when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, it is suggested to place them in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage , and at the same time reinforces its overall strength,
- Magnets lose pulling force when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible field weakening (influenced by the magnet’s dimensions). To address this, we provide [AH] models with superior thermal resistance, able to operate even at 230°C or more,
- They rust in a humid environment. If exposed to rain, we recommend using sealed magnets, such as those made of non-metallic materials,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the challenges in manufacturing fine shapes directly in the magnet,
- Potential hazard due to small fragments may arise, when consumed by mistake, which is significant in the family environments. Furthermore, minuscule fragments from these products may hinder health screening after being swallowed,
- In cases of tight budgets, neodymium magnet cost may be a barrier,
Highest magnetic holding force – what contributes to it?
The given holding capacity of the magnet represents the highest holding force, assessed in ideal conditions, that is:
- with the use of low-carbon steel plate acting as a magnetic yoke
- having a thickness of no less than 10 millimeters
- with a smooth surface
- with zero air gap
- in a perpendicular direction of force
- in normal thermal conditions
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
The lifting capacity of a magnet depends on in practice key elements, ordered from most important to least significant:
- 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.
* Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a slight gap {between} the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets are extremely fragile, resulting in shattering.
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. In the case of a collision between two magnets, there can be a scattering of small sharp metal fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is essential.
Keep neodymium magnets away from youngest children.
Remember that 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.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
In certain circumstances, Neodymium magnets may experience demagnetization when subjected to high temperatures.
Magnets will attract to each other, so remember not to allow them to pinch together without control or place your fingers in their path.
Magnets will attract each other within a distance of several to about 10 cm from each other. Don't put your fingers in the path of magnet attraction, as a serious injury may occur. Depending on how massive the neodymium magnets are, they can lead to a cut or a fracture.
You should keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields that 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. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets away from these electronic devices.
Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times stronger, and their power can surprise 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.
Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and GPS.
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 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.
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.
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.
