Magnetic properties of the material N38
Physical properties of sintered neodymium magnets Nd2Fe14B
Due to their strength, flat magnets are frequently applied in products that require exceptional adhesion.
Typical temperature resistance of flat magnets is 80°C, but with larger dimensions, this value rises.
Moreover, flat magnets often have special coatings applied to their surfaces, such as nickel, gold, or chrome, to increase their strength.
The magnet labeled MPL 50x20x5 / N38 i.e. a magnetic force 12.49 kg which weighs a mere 37.50 grams, making it the ideal choice for applications requiring a flat shape.
Contact surface: Thanks to their flat shape, flat magnets guarantee a greater contact surface with other components, which can be beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: These are often utilized in many devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: The flat form's flat shape makes mounting, particularly when there's a need to attach the magnet to another surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets permits designers greater flexibility in arranging them in devices, which is more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may provide better stability, reducing the risk of sliding or rotating. However, it's important to note that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the specific application and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, are a better choice.
Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which interact with each other when they are oppositely oriented. Poles of the same kind, e.g. two north poles, repel each other.
Due to these properties, magnets are regularly used in magnetic technologies, such as motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the highest power of attraction, making them perfect for applications requiring strong magnetic fields. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions and the materials used.
It’s worth noting that high temperatures can weaken the magnet's effect. The Curie temperature is specific to each type of magnet, meaning that under such conditions, the magnet stops being magnetic. Interestingly, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as navigational instruments, magnetic stripe cards or medical equipment, like pacemakers. For this reason, it is important to exercise caution when using magnets.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from immense strength, neodymium magnets have the following advantages:
- They do not lose power over time. After about 10 years, their power decreases by only ~1% (theoretically),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization by external magnetic field,
- By applying a shiny coating of nickel, gold, or silver, the element gains an aesthetic appearance,
- They exhibit very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- By using an appropriate combination of materials, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing them to operate at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- The ability for precise shaping and customization to specific needs – neodymium magnets can be produced in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies their universality in usage.
- Significant importance in modern technologies – are utilized in computer drives, electric motors, medical devices and very modern machines.
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 strength of neodymium magnets. Typically, after heating above 80°C, most of them experience a permanent reduction 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,
- Limited ability to create threads or complex shapes in the magnet - the use of a housing is recommended - magnetic holder
- Potential hazard associated with microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is crucial in the aspect of protecting young children. Furthermore, miniscule components of these products are able to be problematic in medical diagnosis when they are in the body.
Safety Precautions
Neodymium magnetic are particularly fragile, which leads to damage.
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. 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.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly 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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Strong magnetic fields emitted by neodymium magnets can destroy magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other devices. In addition, they can damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
The magnet coating is made of nickel, so be cautious 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.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Although magnets have demonstrated their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, the temperature can vary depending on the type, shape, and intended use of the specific magnet.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.
Neodymium magnets produce intense magnetic fields that interfere with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a heart pacemaker. However, if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the device when it is in a magnetic field.
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever created, and their power can shock you.
To handle 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 should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for youngest children to have access to them.
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.
It is crucial not to allow the magnets to pinch together uncontrollably or place your fingers in their path as they attract to each other.
If the joining of neodymium magnets is not under control, at that time they may crumble and crack. Remember not to move them to each other or have them firmly in hands at a distance less than 10 cm.
