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 adjoining parts, which can be beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Applications in Technology: The magnets are often used in various devices, like sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where a thin and wide shape is essential for their operation.
Mounting: This form's flat shape makes mounting, especially when there's a need to adhere the magnet to a surface.
Design Flexibility: The disc shape of the magnets gives designers with greater flexibility in placing them in devices, which can sometimes be more difficult with magnets of more complex shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of a disc magnet can provide better stability, reducing 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, like cylindrical or spherical, might be a better choice.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to immense power, neodymium magnets have the following advantages:
- They do not lose their power (of the magnet). After approximately 10 years, their power decreases by only ~1% (theoretically),
- They are highly resistant to demagnetization by external magnetic sources,
- In other words, thanks to the shiny nickel, gold, or silver finish, the element gains an visually attractive appearance,
- They exhibit very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- Magnetic neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet and can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures of 230°C or higher...
- The ability for precise shaping and customization to specific needs – neodymium magnets can be produced in many variants of shapes or sizes, which expands the range of their possible uses.
- Wide application in the industry of new technologies – are used in computer drives, electric motors, medical devices and other highly developed apparatuses.
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a strong impact. If the magnets are exposed to impacts, we recommend using magnets in a steel housing. 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 strength of neodymium magnets. Typically, after heating above 80°C, most of them experience a permanent loss in strength (although it is dependent on the form 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,
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore, when using them outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic, or other moisture-resistant materials,
- 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
- Health risk associated with microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is crucial in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis when they are in the body.
Handle Neodymium Magnets with Caution
Keep neodymium magnets as far away as possible from GPS and smartphones.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that interfere with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Keep neodymium magnets away from the wallet, computer, and TV.
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, etc. devices. They can also damage videos, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Magnets made of neodymium are extremely fragile, resulting in their cracking.
In the event of a collision between two neodymium magnets, it can result in them getting chipped. Despite being made of metal as well as coated with a shiny nickel plating, they are not as hard as steel. At the moment of collision between the magnets, small sharp metal fragments can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Under specific conditions, Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetism when subjected to high temperatures.
Neodymium magnets should not be near 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 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.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are 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 should not be around children.
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 most powerful magnets ever created, and their power can surprise 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 can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant injuries.
In the situation of holding a finger in the path of a neodymium magnet, in such a case, a cut or even a fracture may occur.
