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 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 important for their operation.
Mounting: Their flat shape facilitates mounting, especially when you need to adhere the magnet to a surface.
Design Flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets gives designers with greater flexibility in placing them in devices, which can sometimes be more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of a disc magnet may offer better stability, minimizing the risk of sliding or rotating. However, it's important to remember that the optimal shape of a magnet depends on the specific application and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, might be more suitable.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to immense strength, neodymium magnets have the following advantages:
- They do not lose strength over time. After 10 years, their strength decreases by only ~1% (theoretically),
- They are highly resistant to demagnetization by external magnetic field,
- In other words, thanks to the shiny coating of nickel, gold, or silver, the element acquires an aesthetic appearance,
- They have 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...
- Due to the option of accurate forming and adaptation to individual needs – neodymium magnets can be produced in many variants of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of their possible uses.
- Significant importance in modern technologies – are utilized in hard drives, electric motors, medical devices and other highly developed apparatuses.
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a powerful 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,
- They lose power at high temperatures. Most neodymium magnets experience permanent loss of strength when heated above 80°C (depending on the shape and height). However, we also offer special magnets with high temperature resistance, up to 230°C,
- Due to their susceptibility to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest 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
- Potential hazard associated with microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally ingested, which is particularly important in the context of children's health. It's also worth noting that small elements of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis when they are in the body.
Handle Neodymium Magnets with Caution
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.
In the situation of holding a finger in the path of a neodymium magnet, in that situation, a cut or a fracture may occur.
Never bring neodymium magnets close to a phone and GPS.
Magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS 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.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. Once crushed into fine powder or dust, this material becomes highly flammable.
Magnets should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for youngest children to have access to them.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play with them. They can be a significant choking hazard. If multiple magnets are swallowed, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls, causing severe injuries, and even death.
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 happens because such devices have a function to deactivate them in a magnetic field.
Neodymium magnetic are highly susceptible to damage, leading to breaking.
Neodymium magnetic are delicate as well as will shatter if allowed to collide with each other, even from a distance of a few centimeters. They are coated with a shiny nickel plating similar to steel, but they are not as hard. At the moment of connection between the magnets, small sharp metal pieces can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
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 destroy devices like video players, televisions, CRT computer monitors. Remember not to place neodymium magnets close to these electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets are the most powerful magnets ever created, and their strength can surprise you.
Familiarize yourself with our information to properly handle these magnets and avoid significant injuries to your body and prevent damage to the magnets.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
In certain circumstances, Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetism when subjected to high temperatures.
