Shopping tips
Moreover, although neodymium is part of the strongest magnets, they are susceptible to corrosion in humid environments. For this reason, they are coated with a thin layer 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, are brittle, which requires special caution during their handling. Therefore, 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, 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 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 thin coatings, such as epoxy, to shield them from environmental factors and extend their lifespan. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in a loss of their magnetic properties, 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 conditions, basic environments, 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 forfeit their magnetic properties.
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years, the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They protect against demagnetization induced by ambient magnetic influence remarkably well,
- The use of a polished nickel surface provides a refined finish,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of these magnets is notably high,
- With the right combination of materials, they reach excellent thermal stability, enabling operation at or above 230°C (depending on the form),
- Thanks to the possibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in various configurations, which increases their usage potential,
- Significant impact in modern technologies – they are utilized in HDDs, rotating machines, clinical machines along with sophisticated instruments,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they generate strong force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a sudden impact. If the magnets are exposed to external force, they should be placed in a steel housing. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from fracture and strengthens its overall strength,
- They lose field intensity at increased temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent decline in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the shape 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 advisable to use sealed magnets made of protective material for outdoor use,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the restrictions in manufacturing threads directly in the magnet,
- Health risk related to magnet particles may arise, in case of ingestion, which is notable in the context of child safety. It should also be noted that tiny components from these devices might hinder health screening if inside the body,
- Higher purchase price is one of the drawbacks compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget-sensitive applications
Handle Neodymium Magnets Carefully
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.
Magnets should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for children to have access to them.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. Small magnets pose a serious choking hazard or can attract to each other in the intestines. In such cases, the only solution is to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and otherwise, it can even lead to death.
The magnet is coated with nickel. Therefore, exercise caution if you have an 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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from GPS and smartphones.
Magnetic fields can interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in aviation and maritime navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices. There are neodymium magnets in every smartphone, for example, in the microphone and speakers.
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.
Neodymium magnets are delicate as well as can easily break as well as shatter.
Magnets made of neodymium are delicate as well as will break if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. They are coated with a shiny nickel plating similar to steel, but they are not as hard. In the case of a collision between two magnets, there can be a scattering of small sharp metal fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is essential.
Keep neodymium magnets away from people with pacemakers.
In the case of neodymium magnets, there is a strong magnetic field. As a result, it interferes 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.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be placed near a computer HDD, TV, and wallet.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields that can destroy 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.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly 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 primarily characterized by their significant internal force. They attract to each other, and any object that comes in their way will be affected.
Magnets may crack or crumble with uncontrolled connecting to each other. Remember not to approach them to each other or hold them firmly in hands at a distance less than 10 cm.
Exercise caution!
