Magnetic properties of the material N38
Physical properties of sintered neodymium magnets Nd2Fe14B
Contact Surface: Due to their flat shape, disc magnets provide a larger contact surface with other elements, which is beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Applications in Technology: They are often employed in various devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where a flat shape is essential for their operation.
Mounting: The flat form's flat shape facilitates mounting, particularly when you need to adhere the magnet to a surface.
Design Flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets gives designers with significant flexibility in placing them in constructions, which can sometimes be more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of a disc magnet may provide better stability, minimizing the risk of shifting or rotating. It should be noted that the optimal shape of a magnet is dependent on the particular use and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, might be a better choice.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from immense power, neodymium magnets have the following advantages:
- They do not lose their power (of the magnet). After approximately 10 years, their strength decreases by only ~1% (theoretically),
- They protect against demagnetization caused by external magnetic sources very well,
- In other words, thanks to the shiny coating of nickel, gold, or silver, the element acquires an aesthetic appearance,
- They exhibit very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- Thanks to their high temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- The ability for precise shaping or customization to specific needs – neodymium magnets can be produced in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of their possible uses.
- Significant importance in advanced technologically fields – find application in computer drives, electric motors, medical apparatus or other advanced devices.
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to impacts, we recommend using magnets in a metal holder. The steel housing in the form of a holder protects the magnet from impacts, and at the same time increases its overall strength,
- High temperatures can reduce the power of neodymium magnets. Typically, after heating above 80°C, most of them experience a permanent loss in strength (although it is dependent on the shape and size). To prevent this, we offer special magnets marked with the symbol [AH], which are highly resistant to high temperatures. They can operate even at temperatures up to 230°C, making them an ideal solution for applications requiring high-temperature operation,
- Due to their susceptibility to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic, or other moisture-resistant materials when using them outdoors,
- The use of a cover - a magnetic holder is recommended due to the limited production capabilities of creating threads or complex shapes in the magnet
- Possible danger associated with microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is crucial in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices are able to hinder the diagnostic process after entering the body.
We Recommend Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Keep neodymium magnets away from TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
Strong magnetic fields emitted by neodymium magnets can damage 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.
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.
Neodymium magnets are fragile and can easily crack as well as get damaged.
Neodymium magnets are fragile as well as will break if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. Despite being made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel plating, they are not as hard as steel. At the moment of connection between the magnets, tiny sharp metal pieces can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
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.
The magnet is coated with nickel - be careful if you have an 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, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Under no circumstances should neodymium magnets be brought close to GPS and smartphones.
Magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Neodymium magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
Magnets will jump and also contact together within a radius of several to almost 10 cm from each other.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever created, and their power can shock you.
Make sure to review all the information we have provided. This will help you avoid harm to your body and damage to the magnets.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
In certain circumstances, Neodymium magnets may experience demagnetization when subjected to high temperatures.
Maintain neodymium magnets away from 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.
