Magnetic properties of the material N38
Physical properties of sintered neodymium magnets Nd2Fe14B
Moreover, even though neodymium is part of the strongest magnets, they are susceptible to corrosion in humid environments. Therefore, they are coated with a thin layer of silver to protect them from corrosion. Interestingly that NdFeB neodymium magnets are about 13% lighter than SmCo magnets and, despite their power, are brittle, which requires special caution during their handling. Therefore, any mechanical processing should be done before they are magnetized.
In terms of safety, there are several recommendations regarding the use of these magnets. They should not be used in acidic, basic, organic environments or where solvents are present, as well as in water or oil. Furthermore, they can damage data on magnetic cards and hard drives, although data deletion using a neodymium magnet is not always certain.
In terms of properties in different environments, neodymium magnets are sensitive to corrosion, especially in humid conditions. Therefore, they are often coated with thin coatings, such as silver, to protect them from external factors and prolong their durability. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in a reduction of their magnetic strength, although there are specific types of neodymium magnets that can tolerate temperatures up to 230°C.
As for risks, it is important to avoid using neodymium magnets in acidic conditions, basic environments, organic or solvent environments, unless they are adequately insulated. Additionally, their use is not recommended in water, oil, or in an environment containing hydrogen, as they may forfeit their magnetic properties.

Advantages as well as 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 extremely resistant to demagnetization by external magnetic sources,
- In other words, thanks to the shiny coating of nickel, gold, or silver, the element acquires an aesthetic appearance,
- They have exceptionally high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- Thanks to their high temperature resistance, they can operate (depending on the form) even 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 expands the range of their possible uses.
- Wide application in modern technologies – find application in HDD drives, electric motors, medical apparatus or very highly developed apparatuses.
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are prone to breaking as they are extremely 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 also 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,
- Limited ability to create threads or complex shapes in the magnet - the use of a housing is recommended - magnetic holder
- Potential hazard arising from small pieces of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally ingested, which is crucial in the context of children's health. Furthermore, miniscule components of these devices have the potential to hinder the diagnostic process in case of swallowing.
Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are highly 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 are over 10 times stronger than ferrite magnets (the ones in speakers), and their power can surprise you.
Read the information on our website on how to properly utilize neodymium magnets and avoid significant harm to your body and unintentional disruption to the magnets.
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 joining of neodymium magnets is not under control, then they may crumble and also crack. Remember not to move them to each other or have them firmly in hands at a distance less than 10 cm.
Magnets should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for children to have access to them.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. In the case of small magnets, they can be swallowed and cause choking. In such cases, the only solution is to undergo surgery to remove the magnets, and otherwise, it can even lead to death.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
In certain circumstances, Neodymium magnets may experience demagnetization when subjected to high temperatures.
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 is because many of these devices are equipped with a function that deactivates the device in a magnetic field.
Keep neodymium magnets away from GPS and smartphones.
Magnetic fields interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation for air and sea transport, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Magnets made of neodymium are delicate as well as can easily crack as well as get damaged.
Neodymium magnetic are delicate as well as will break 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 collision between the magnets, tiny sharp metal pieces can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
Keep neodymium magnets away from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Strong fields generated by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other similar devices. In addition, they can damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
The magnet is coated with nickel - be careful 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.
