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 coating of epoxy 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 care 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. Additionally, they can damage 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 covered with thin coatings, such as silver, to shield them from environmental factors and prolong their durability. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a deterioration 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 environments, basic environments, organic or solvent environments, unless they are properly protected. Additionally, their use is not recommended in wet conditions, oil, or in an atmosphere containing hydrogen, as they may lose their magnetic strength.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their tremendous magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- They have stable power, and over nearly ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by external field interference,
- By applying a bright layer of gold, the element gains a modern look,
- The outer field strength of the magnet shows advanced magnetic properties,
- They are suitable for high-temperature applications, operating effectively at 230°C+ due to advanced heat resistance and form-specific properties,
- Thanks to the freedom in shaping and the capability to adapt to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in diverse shapes and sizes, which broadens their usage potential,
- Important function in cutting-edge sectors – they are utilized in computer drives, electric drives, healthcare devices and high-tech tools,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they deliver powerful magnetism, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, it is suggested to place them in a metal holder. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture , and at the same time increases its overall robustness,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the field efficiency of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent loss 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,
- They rust in a damp environment. For outdoor use, we recommend using encapsulated magnets, such as those made of rubber,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining internal cuts in neodymium magnets is difficult,
- Safety concern from tiny pieces may arise, in case of ingestion, which is significant in the health of young users. Additionally, minuscule fragments from these assemblies may hinder health screening once in the system,
- Higher purchase price is one of the drawbacks compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what affects it?
The given pulling force of the magnet corresponds to the maximum force, calculated in the best circumstances, specifically:
- using a steel plate with low carbon content, serving as a magnetic circuit closure
- having a thickness of no less than 10 millimeters
- with a smooth surface
- with no separation
- with vertical force applied
- in normal thermal conditions
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
The lifting capacity of a magnet is determined by in practice the following factors, 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) 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.
* Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever invented. Their power can shock you.
Familiarize yourself with our information to properly handle these magnets and avoid significant injuries to your body and prevent damage to the magnets.
Do not place neodymium magnets near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
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. They can also damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
It is important to keep neodymium magnets away 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.
Keep neodymium magnets as far away as possible from GPS and smartphones.
Magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Avoid contact with neodymium magnets 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, 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.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Although magnets are generally resilient, their ability to maintain their magnetic potency can be influenced by factors like the type of material used, the magnet's shape, and the intended purpose for which it is employed.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
Neodymium magnets will bounce and touch together within a radius of several to almost 10 cm from each other.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
In the case of neodymium magnets, there is a strong magnetic field. As a result, it interferes with the operation of a heart pacemaker. However, if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the device when it is in a magnetic field.
Magnets made of neodymium are noted for their fragility, which can cause them to become damaged.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by significant fragility. Neodymium magnetic 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.
