Physical properties of NdFeB
Shopping tips
Moreover, although neodymium is part of the strongest magnets, they are prone to corrosion in humid environments. Therefore, they are coated with a coating of nickel 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 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. They should not be used in acidic, basic, organic environments or in solvents, and also in water or oil. Furthermore, 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 sensitive to corrosion, especially in humid conditions. Therefore, they are often covered with thin coatings, such as gold, to shield them from environmental factors and prolong their durability. Temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a deterioration of their magnetic properties, 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 conditions, basic conditions, 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 strength.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from their superior magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
- Their power remains stable, and after around ten years, it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by ambient electromagnetic environments effectively,
- Because of the lustrous layer of silver, the component looks high-end,
- The outer field strength of the magnet shows advanced magnetic properties,
- With the right combination of magnetic alloys, they reach excellent thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the design),
- Thanks to the possibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to specific requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in various configurations, which increases their functional possibilities,
- Wide application in cutting-edge sectors – they are utilized in hard drives, electric motors, medical equipment along with other advanced devices,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling strength in small dimensions, which allows for use in small systems
Disadvantages of rare earth magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, they should be placed in a metal holder. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks and additionally increases its overall resistance,
- They lose magnetic force at high temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent loss 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 rust. Therefore, for outdoor applications, we recommend waterproof types made of plastic,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining fine details in neodymium magnets is restricted,
- Health risk due to small fragments may arise, when consumed by mistake, which is notable in the health of young users. Additionally, tiny components from these products have the potential to interfere with diagnostics when ingested,
- Due to the price of neodymium, their cost is relatively high,
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what affects it?
The given holding capacity of the magnet means the highest holding force, calculated in ideal conditions, namely:
- with the use of low-carbon steel plate serving as a magnetic yoke
- having a thickness of no less than 10 millimeters
- with a polished side
- in conditions of no clearance
- under perpendicular detachment force
- under standard ambient temperature
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
The lifting capacity of a magnet is influenced by in practice key elements, ordered from most important to least significant:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, as 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 conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
Safety Precautions
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.
Strong fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, or other devices. They can also damage videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets are incredibly fragile, they easily fall apart and can become damaged.
Neodymium magnetic are highly fragile, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will crumble. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel, but they are not as durable as steel. At the moment of collision between the magnets, sharp metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
Keep neodymium magnets away from people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can interfere 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.
Do not give neodymium magnets to youngest 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.
Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times stronger, and their power can shock you.
On our website, you can find information on how to use neodymium magnets. This will help you avoid injuries and prevent damage to the magnets.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Whilst Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetic properties at high temperatures, it's important to note that the extent of this effect can vary based on factors such as the magnet's material, shape, and intended application.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Do not attempt to drill into neodymium magnets. Mechanical processing is also not recommended. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
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.
In the case of holding a finger in the path of a neodymium magnet, in such a case, a cut or even a fracture may occur.
