Magnetic properties of the material N38
Physical properties of sintered neodymium magnets Nd2Fe14B
Moreover, although neodymium is part of the strongest magnets, they are prone to corrosion in humid environments. For this reason, they are coated with a coating of silver to protect them from corrosion. It's worth noting that NdFeB neodymium magnets are about 13% lighter than SmCo magnets and, despite their power, are brittle, which requires care during their handling. For this reason, any mechanical processing should be done before they are magnetized.
In terms of safety, there are many recommendations regarding the use of these magnets. It is advisable to avoid their use in acidic, basic, organic environments or in solvents, as well as in water or oil. Furthermore, they can distort data on magnetic cards and hard drives, although data deletion using a neodymium magnet is not guaranteed.
In terms of properties in different environments, neodymium magnets are susceptible to corrosion, especially in conditions of high humidity. Therefore, they are often coated with thin coatings, such as epoxy, to protect them from external factors and extend their lifespan. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a loss of their magnetic properties, although there are specific types of neodymium magnets that can withstand temperatures up to 230°C.
As for risks, it is important to avoid using neodymium magnets in acidic environments, basic conditions, organic or solvent environments, unless they are adequately insulated. Additionally, their use is not recommended in water, oil, or in an atmosphere containing hydrogen, as they may forfeit their magnetic strength.

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,
- By applying a shiny coating of nickel, gold, or silver, the element gains an aesthetic appearance,
- They possess very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
- Magnetic neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet and can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures of 230°C or higher...
- Thanks to the flexibility in shaping or the ability to adapt to specific requirements – neodymium magnets can be produced in many variants of shapes and sizes, which amplifies their universality in usage.
- Key role in modern technologies – find application in computer drives, electric drive mechanisms, medical apparatus and various technologically 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 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 strength due to exposure to high temperatures. In most cases, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, these magnets experience permanent reduction in strength (although it is worth noting that this is dependent on the form 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,
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore, when using them outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic, or other moisture-resistant materials,
- Limited ability to create threads or complex shapes in the magnet - the use of a housing is recommended - magnetic holder
- Health risk associated with microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting young children. Furthermore, small elements of these products are able to hinder the diagnostic process after entering the body.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
In certain circumstances, Neodymium magnets may experience demagnetization when subjected to high temperatures.
Neodymium magnets are highly delicate, they easily break and can become damaged.
In the event of a collision between two neodymium magnets, it can result in them getting chipped. They are coated with a shiny nickel plating similar to steel, but they are not as hard. 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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from people with pacemakers.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields. As a result, they interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. This happens because such devices have a function to deactivate them in a magnetic field.
You should maintain neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.
Magnetic 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. They can also damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.
Do not give neodymium magnets to children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. You cannot allow them to become toys for children. In such a situation, surgery is necessary to remove them. In the worst case scenario, it can result in death.
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.
The magnet is coated with nickel. Therefore, exercise caution 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 are over 10 times stronger 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.
Keep neodymium magnets away from GPS and smartphones.
Magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Neodymium Magnets can attract to each other, pinch the skin, and cause significant swellings.
Magnets will attract each other within a distance of several to about 10 cm from each other. Don't put your fingers in the path of magnet attraction, because a serious injury may occur. Magnets, depending on their size, are able even cut off a finger or alternatively there can be a severe pressure or a fracture.
