Magnetic properties of material N38
Physical properties of NdFeB
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 coating of gold 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 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. It is advisable to avoid their use in acidic, basic, organic environments or where solvents are present, and also 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 coated with coatings, such as gold, to shield them from environmental factors and prolong their durability. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a reduction 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 environments, basic conditions, organic or solvent environments, unless they are insulated. Additionally, their use is not recommended in water, oil, or in an atmosphere containing hydrogen, as they may lose their magnetic properties.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from their consistent magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
- They do not lose their power around 10 years – the reduction of power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They remain magnetized despite exposure to magnetic surroundings,
- Because of the lustrous layer of nickel, the component looks high-end,
- The outer field strength of the magnet shows remarkable magnetic properties,
- Neodymium magnets are known for very high magnetic induction and the ability to work at temperatures up to 230°C or higher (depending on the magnetic form),
- The ability for precise shaping or customization to custom needs – neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies their functionality across industries,
- Important function in modern technologies – they are used in data storage devices, electric drives, healthcare devices or even technologically developed systems,
- Relatively small size with high magnetic force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling strength in compact dimensions, which makes them ideal in small systems
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, it is advisable to use in a protective enclosure. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage while also enhances its overall resistance,
- They lose field intensity at elevated temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent decline in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the dimensions and height). However, we offer special variants with high temperature resistance that can operate up to 230°C or higher,
- Due to corrosion risk in humid conditions, it is common to use sealed magnets made of plastic for outdoor use,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining threads in neodymium magnets is restricted,
- Health risk due to small fragments may arise, if ingested accidentally, which is crucial in the protection of children. Furthermore, tiny components from these devices have the potential to hinder health screening once in the system,
- Higher purchase price is an important factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
The given strength of the magnet represents the optimal strength, calculated in the best circumstances, that is:
- using a steel plate with low carbon content, acting as a magnetic circuit closure
- of a thickness of at least 10 mm
- with a smooth surface
- with no separation
- in a perpendicular direction of force
- at room temperature
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
In practice, the holding capacity of a magnet is affected by these factors, in descending order of importance:
- 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 was assessed with the use of a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Handle Neodymium Magnets with Caution
Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times more powerful, and their power can surprise you.
To use magnets properly, it is best to familiarize yourself with our information beforehand. This will help you avoid significant harm to your body and the magnets themselves.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Despite the general resilience of magnets, their ability to retain their magnetic strength 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 should not be around 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 away from people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a heart pacemaker. Even if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the entire device.
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.
Magnets made of neodymium are fragile as well as can easily break as well as shatter.
Neodymium magnets are characterized by considerable fragility. Neodymium magnetic 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, small metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
If have a finger between or on the path of attracting magnets, there may be a severe cut or even a fracture.
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. They can also damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
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.
Avoid contact with neodymium magnets if you have a nickel 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.
