Magnetic properties of the material N38
Physical properties of sintered neodymium magnets Nd2Fe14B
Moreover, although neodymium is a component of the strongest magnets, they are prone to corrosion in humid environments. Therefore, they are coated with a thin layer of nickel to protect them from corrosion. Interestingly that NdFeB neodymium magnets are about 13% lighter than SmCo magnets and, despite their power, easily break, which requires special caution during their handling. Therefore, any mechanical processing should be done before they are magnetized.
In terms of safety, there are many recommendations regarding the use of these magnets. They should not be used in acidic, basic, organic environments or in solvents, as well as in water or oil. Additionally, 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 susceptible to corrosion, especially in conditions of high humidity. Therefore, they are often covered with thin coatings, such as silver, to preserve them from external factors and extend their lifespan. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can cause a deterioration of their magnetic properties, although there are particular types of neodymium magnets that can tolerate temperatures up to 230°C.
As for dangers, 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 atmosphere containing hydrogen, as they may forfeit their magnetic strength.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to immense power, 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 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...
- The ability for precise shaping or customization to specific needs – neodymium magnets can be produced in many variants of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of their possible uses.
- Key role in advanced technologically fields – are used in hard drives, electric drive mechanisms, medical equipment and other 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 steel housing. 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,
- They rust in a humid environment - during outdoor use, we recommend using waterproof magnets, such as those made of rubber or plastic,
- 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 arising from small pieces of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally ingested, which is crucial in the aspect of protecting young children. Additionally, tiny parts of these products have the potential to hinder the diagnostic process in case of swallowing.
Caution with Neodymium Magnets
Magnets made of neodymium are fragile as well as can easily break and shatter.
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.
Neodymium magnets are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
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.
You should maintain neodymium magnets at a safe distance 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. They can also damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. You should especially avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic devices.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Whilst Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetic properties at high temperatures, it's important to note that the extent of this effect can vary based on factors such as the magnet's material, shape, and intended application.
Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.
Avoid drilling or mechanical processing of neodymium magnets. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.
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.
Keep neodymium magnets as far away as possible from GPS and smartphones.
Neodymium magnets generate strong magnetic fields that interfere with magnetometers and compasses used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.
Magnets are not toys, youngest should not play with 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.
Magnets may crack or crumble with careless joining to each other. Remember not to approach them to each other or have them firmly in hands at a distance less than 10 cm.
Neodymium magnets are over 10 times stronger than ferrite magnets (the ones in speakers), 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.
