Magnetic properties of the material N38
Physical properties of sintered neodymium magnets Nd2Fe14B
Contact Surface: Due to their flat shape, disc magnets provide a significant contact surface with adjoining parts, which is beneficial in applications needing a stronger magnetic connection.
Applications in Technology: These magnets are often employed in different devices, such as sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where a flat shape is important for their operation.
Mounting: This form's flat shape makes 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 arranging them in devices, which can be more difficult with magnets of more complex shapes.
Stability: In certain applications, the flat base of a disc magnet can 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 specific application and requirements. In some cases, other shapes, like cylindrical or spherical, might be a better choice.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from immense strength, 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 are highly resistant to demagnetization by external magnetic sources,
- In other words, thanks to the glossy nickel, gold, or silver finish, the element gains an aesthetic appearance,
- They exhibit extremely high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- Thanks to their high temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the shape) even 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 many variants of shapes or sizes, which amplifies their universality in usage.
- Significant importance in advanced technologically fields – find application in computer drives, electric drive mechanisms, medical apparatus or very advanced devices.
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 protective case. 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 reduction 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,
- 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 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 pose a threat, when accidentally ingested, which becomes significant in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets can be problematic in medical diagnosis after entering the body.
Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets ever created, and their strength 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.
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, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
It is essential to maintain neodymium magnets away from youngest children.
Remember that 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.
You should maintain neodymium magnets at a safe distance 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, 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.
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.
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.
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.
Neodymium magnetic are extremely fragile, they easily break and can become damaged.
Magnets made of neodymium are delicate and will shatter 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. 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.
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 case of holding a finger in the path of a neodymium magnet, in such a case, a cut or a fracture may occur.
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.
