Magnetic properties of the material N38
Physical properties of sintered neodymium magnets Nd2Fe14B
Contact Surface: Due to their flat shape, disc magnets guarantee a significant contact surface with adjoining parts, which can be beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Applications in Technology: They are often employed in many devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where a thin and wide shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: The flat form's flat shape facilitates mounting, especially when you need to adhere the magnet to another surface.
Design Flexibility: The disc shape of the magnets allows designers with greater flexibility in placing them in constructions, which can sometimes be more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In some applications, the flat base of a disc magnet may offer better stability, minimizing the risk of sliding or rotating. Nevertheless, one should bear in mind that the optimal shape of a magnet is dependent on the specific project and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, might be more suitable.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from immense strength, neodymium magnets have the following advantages:
- They do not lose their strength (of the magnet). After about 10 years, their power decreases by only ~1% (theoretically),
- They are highly resistant to demagnetization by external magnetic sources,
- Thanks to the shiny finish and nickel, gold, or silver coating, they have an aesthetic appearance,
- They exhibit extremely high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- By using an appropriate combination of materials, they can achieve significant thermal resistance, allowing them to operate at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to the flexibility in shaping and the ability to adapt to specific requirements – neodymium magnets can be produced in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which enhances their versatility in applications.
- Significant importance in modern technologies – are used in computer drives, electric drive mechanisms, medical apparatus or other modern machines.
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 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,
- Magnets lose their power due to exposure to high temperatures. In most cases, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, these magnets experience permanent loss in strength (although it is worth noting that this is dependent on the shape and size of the magnet). To avoid this problem, we offer special magnets marked with the [AH] symbol, which exhibit high temperature resistance. They can operate even at temperatures as high as 230°C or more,
- They rust in a humid environment. For outdoor use, we recommend using waterproof magnets, such as those made of rubber or plastic,
- The use of a cover or a magnetic holder is recommended due to the limited possibilities of manufacturing threads or complex shapes in the magnet
- Potential hazard associated with microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes significant in the context of child safety. It's also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices have the potential to complicate diagnosis in case of swallowing.
Be Cautious with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets are over 10 times more powerful than ferrite magnets (the ones in speakers), and 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.
Magnets made of neodymium are especially delicate, which leads to damage.
Neodymium magnets are extremely delicate, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will crumble. Neodymium magnetic 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.
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.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
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.
It is important to keep neodymium magnets away from youngest 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 primarily characterized by their significant internal force. They attract to each other, and any object that comes in their way will be affected.
In the situation of holding a finger in the path of a neodymium magnet, in that situation, a cut or even a fracture may occur.
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Whilst Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetic properties 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 coating is made of nickel, so be cautious 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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Keep neodymium magnets as far away as possible from GPS and smartphones.
Intense magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Make sure not to bring neodymium magnets close to the 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 destroy devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from these electronic devices.
