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 thin layer of gold-nickel 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 several 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. Additionally, 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 epoxy, to shield them from environmental factors and prolong their durability. Temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a deterioration of their magnetic strength, although there are particular 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 environments, organic or solvent environments, unless they are 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 as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
- They do not lose their even over around ten years – the loss of strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to magnetic noise,
- Thanks to the polished finish and nickel coating, they have an elegant appearance,
- 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,
- With the option for tailored forming and targeted design, these magnets can be produced in various shapes and sizes, greatly improving application potential,
- Wide application in advanced technical fields – they are used in HDDs, electric drives, healthcare devices or even sophisticated instruments,
- Thanks to their efficiency per volume, small magnets offer high magnetic performance, with minimal size,
Disadvantages of magnetic elements:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, we recommend in a steel housing. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from cracks while also increases its overall robustness,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the holding force 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. If exposed to rain, we recommend using encapsulated magnets, such as those made of plastic,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining internal cuts in neodymium magnets is difficult,
- Possible threat due to small fragments may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is notable in the health of young users. Moreover, minuscule fragments from these assemblies can hinder health screening after being swallowed,
- Higher purchase price is one of the drawbacks compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Be Cautious with Neodymium Magnets
Magnets will attract to each other, so remember not to allow them to pinch together without control or place your fingers in their path.
In the situation of placing a finger in the path of a neodymium magnet, in that situation, a cut or even a fracture may occur.
Magnets made of neodymium are fragile and can easily crack and get damaged.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by considerable fragility. Magnets made of neodymium 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.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Although magnets have shown to retain their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, this temperature may vary depending on the type of material, shape, and intended use of the magnet.
Do not bring neodymium magnets close to GPS and smartphones.
Strong fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Keep neodymium magnets away from 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.
You should maintain neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
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.
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 the most powerful magnets ever invented. Their strength 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.
Magnets are not toys, children should not play with them.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Be cautious and make sure no child plays 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 significant 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.
