Physical properties of NdFeB
Shopping tips
Moreover, even though 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 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 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 in solvents, 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 sensitive to corrosion, especially in humid conditions. Therefore, they are often covered with coatings, such as silver, to preserve them from environmental factors and prolong their durability. Temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in a loss of their magnetic strength, although there are specific 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 adequately insulated. Additionally, their use is not recommended in water, oil, or in an atmosphere containing hydrogen, as they may forfeit their magnetic strength.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
- They retain their attractive force for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
- Their ability to resist magnetic interference from external fields is among the best,
- The use of a polished silver surface provides a refined finish,
- They exhibit superior levels of magnetic induction near the outer area of the magnet,
- Thanks to their exceptional temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C or more,
- Thanks to the flexibility in shaping and the capability to adapt to individual requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in various configurations, which expands their usage potential,
- Key role in advanced technical fields – they are used in hard drives, electric drives, healthcare devices or even other advanced devices,
- Compactness – despite their small size, they deliver powerful magnetism, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages of magnetic elements:
- They can break when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to physical collisions, it is advisable to use in a protective case. The steel housing, in the form of a holder, protects the magnet from damage while also strengthens its overall robustness,
- They lose strength at elevated temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent degradation in strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the form 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 wise to use sealed magnets made of plastic for outdoor use,
- Using a cover – such as a magnetic holder – is advised due to the limitations in manufacturing threads directly in the magnet,
- Possible threat linked to microscopic shards may arise, in case of ingestion, which is important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements from these assemblies can interfere with diagnostics when ingested,
- In cases of tight budgets, neodymium magnet cost may not be economically viable,
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?
The given pulling force of the magnet corresponds to the maximum force, determined in a perfect environment, specifically:
- with mild steel, used as a magnetic flux conductor
- of a thickness of at least 10 mm
- with a polished side
- with no separation
- in a perpendicular direction of force
- in normal thermal conditions
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
In practice, the holding capacity of a magnet is conditioned by the following aspects, in descending order of importance:
- Air gap between the magnet and the plate, because 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.
* Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance {between} the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
Caution with Neodymium Magnets
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.
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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Keep neodymium magnets as far away as possible from GPS and smartphones.
Neodymium magnets are a source of intense magnetic fields that cause interference with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Magnets are not toys, youngest should not play with them.
Remember that 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.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest, most remarkable magnets on earth, and the surprising force between them can shock you at first.
Read the information on our website on how to properly utilize neodymium magnets and avoid significant harm to your body and unintentional damage to the magnets.
Magnets made of neodymium are noted for being fragile, which can cause them to shatter.
In the event of a collision between two neodymium magnets, it can result in them getting chipped. 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 TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
The strong magnetic field generated by neodymium magnets 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.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for 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.
Neodymium Magnets can attract to each other due to their immense internal force, causing the skin and other body parts to get pinched and resulting in significant injuries.
Neodymium magnets jump and also clash mutually within a distance of several to around 10 cm from each other.
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.
