Shopping tips
Moreover, even though neodymium is part of the strongest magnets, they are susceptible to corrosion in humid environments. Therefore, they are coated with a coating of 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 many recommendations regarding the use of these magnets. They should not be used in acidic, basic, organic environments or where solvents are present, as well as 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 susceptible to corrosion, especially in conditions of high humidity. Therefore, they are often coated with coatings, such as silver, to preserve them from external factors and extend their lifespan. Temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in a deterioration of their magnetic strength, although there are particular types of neodymium magnets that can withstand temperatures up to 230°C.
As for dangers, 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 water, oil, or in an environment containing hydrogen, as they may lose their magnetic properties.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to their remarkable magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
- Their strength remains stable, and after around 10 years, it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They are very resistant to demagnetization caused by external field interference,
- Because of the lustrous layer of gold, the component looks high-end,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is notably high,
- With the right combination of magnetic alloys, they reach significant thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the structure),
- With the option for customized forming and precise design, these magnets can be produced in multiple shapes and sizes, greatly improving application potential,
- Wide application in new technology industries – they serve a purpose in computer drives, electric motors, medical equipment as well as high-tech tools,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they deliver powerful magnetism, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of magnetic elements:
- They are prone to breaking when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to shocks, it is advisable to use in a metal holder. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from breakage and additionally enhances its overall strength,
- High temperatures may significantly reduce the strength of neodymium magnets. Typically, above 80°C, they experience permanent weakening in performance (depending on height). 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 moist environment. If exposed to rain, we recommend using waterproof magnets, such as those made of rubber,
- The use of a protective casing or external holder is recommended, since machining fine details in neodymium magnets is risky,
- Possible threat linked to microscopic shards may arise, especially if swallowed, which is significant in the health of young users. It should also be noted that minuscule fragments from these assemblies can complicate medical imaging once in the system,
- Due to expensive raw materials, their cost is considerably higher,
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what contributes to it?
The given lifting capacity of the magnet corresponds to the maximum lifting force, measured in ideal conditions, specifically:
- with the use of low-carbon steel plate serving as a magnetic yoke
- having a thickness of no less than 10 millimeters
- with a refined outer layer
- with zero air gap
- with vertical force applied
- at room temperature
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
The lifting capacity of a magnet depends on in practice the following factors, from primary to secondary:
- 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 was determined using a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets are especially fragile, which leads to their breakage.
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 connection between the magnets, small metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
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.
It is crucial not to allow the magnets to pinch together uncontrollably or place your fingers in their path as they attract to each other.
Magnets attract each other within a distance of several to around 10 cm from each other. Remember not to insert fingers between magnets or in their path when they attract. Magnets, depending on their size, can even cut off a finger or alternatively there can be a severe pressure or even a fracture.
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.
Neodymium magnets are the most powerful magnets ever invented. Their power can shock 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 become demagnetized at high temperatures.
While Neodymium magnets can demagnetize 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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
Strong fields generated by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other similar devices. In addition, they can damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
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.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.
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.
It is essential to keep neodymium magnets away from youngest children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. In such a situation, surgery is necessary to remove them. In the worst case scenario, it can result in death.
