Shopping tips
Moreover, although neodymium is a component of the strongest magnets, they are susceptible to corrosion in humid environments. Therefore, they are coated with a thin layer of nickel to increase their durability. 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 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. 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 humid conditions. Therefore, they are often covered with thin coatings, such as silver, to preserve them from environmental 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 risks, 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 wet conditions, oil, or in an atmosphere containing hydrogen, as they may forfeit their magnetic strength.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
- They retain their magnetic properties for almost 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by external magnetic influence remarkably well,
- In other words, due to the metallic gold coating, the magnet obtains an stylish appearance,
- They possess significant magnetic force measurable at the magnet’s surface,
- These magnets tolerate high temperatures, often exceeding 230°C, when properly designed (in relation to profile),
- The ability for precise shaping or adaptation to individual needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which enhances their versatility in applications,
- Key role in modern technologies – they serve a purpose in hard drives, electric drives, diagnostic apparatus as well as high-tech tools,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they provide high effectiveness, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, it is advisable to use in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage while also reinforces its overall strength,
- Magnets lose pulling force when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C. In most cases, this leads to irreversible performance loss (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,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is recommended to use sealed magnets made of synthetic coating for outdoor use,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the challenges in manufacturing complex structures directly in the magnet,
- Health risk due to small fragments may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is crucial in the health of young users. It should also be noted that tiny components from these devices may interfere with diagnostics after being swallowed,
- Due to a complex production process, their cost is considerably higher,
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what affects it?
The given strength of the magnet represents the optimal strength, determined under optimal conditions, specifically:
- using a steel plate with low carbon content, serving as a magnetic circuit closure
- with a thickness of minimum 10 mm
- with a smooth surface
- with zero air gap
- with vertical force applied
- in normal thermal conditions
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
In practice, the holding capacity of a magnet is affected by these factors, from crucial to less important:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, because even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause 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 optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Notes with Neodymium Magnets
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
Strong magnetic fields emitted by neodymium magnets can destroy 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. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
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 alternatively crumble with uncontrolled joining to each other. You can't move them to each other. At a distance less than 10 cm you should hold them very strongly.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever invented. Their strength 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.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Under specific conditions, Neodymium magnets may experience demagnetization when subjected to high temperatures.
Neodymium magnetic are extremely fragile, leading to breaking.
In the event of a collision between two neodymium magnets, it can result in them getting chipped. Despite being made of metal as well as coated with a shiny nickel plating, they are not as hard as steel. At the moment of connection between the magnets, tiny sharp metal fragments can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly 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 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.
Neodymium magnets should not be in the vicinity youngest children.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play with them. They can be a significant choking hazard. If multiple magnets are swallowed, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls, causing severe injuries, and even death.
The magnet coating contains nickel, so be cautious 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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Keep neodymium magnets as far away as possible 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.
