Magnetic properties of the material N38
Physical properties of sintered neodymium magnets Nd2Fe14B
Moreover, even though 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 gold 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. 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, and also 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 humid conditions. Therefore, they are often coated with thin coatings, such as silver, to protect them from environmental factors and prolong their durability. High temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in a deterioration of their magnetic strength, 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 properly protected. Additionally, their use is not recommended in wet conditions, oil, or in an environment containing hydrogen, as they may forfeit their magnetic properties.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
Apart from immense power, neodymium magnets have the following advantages:
- They do not lose strength over time. After about 10 years, their power decreases by only ~1% (theoretically),
- They are highly resistant to demagnetization by external magnetic sources,
- In other words, thanks to the shiny 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 form) 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 and sizes, which amplifies their universality in usage.
- Wide application in modern technologies – are utilized in computer drives, electric drive mechanisms, medical equipment or other highly developed apparatuses.
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They can break when subjected to a strong 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,
- Magnets lose their power due to exposure to high temperatures. In most cases, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, these magnets experience permanent loss in strength (although it is worth noting that this is dependent on the shape 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,
- 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 to health from tiny fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It's also worth noting that tiny parts of these products can hinder the diagnostic process in case of swallowing.
Be Cautious with Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Despite the general resilience of magnets, their ability to retain their magnetic strength can be influenced by factors like the type of material used, the magnet's shape, and the intended purpose for which it is employed.
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, you can try wearing gloves or simply avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.
Magnets made of neodymium are fragile and can easily crack as well as get damaged.
Neodymium magnets 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 as well as coated with a shiny nickel plating, they are not as hard as steel. At the moment of collision between the magnets, small sharp metal pieces can be propelled in various directions at high speed. Eye protection is recommended.
Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times stronger, 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 as far away as possible 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 should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for children to have access to them.
Remember that neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to play 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.
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 will attract to each other, so remember not to allow them to pinch together without control or place your fingers in their path.
Magnets will attract each other within a distance of several to around 10 cm from each other. Don't put your fingers in the path of magnet attraction, because a significant injury may occur. Depending on how massive the neodymium magnets are, they can lead to a cut or alternatively a fracture.
Keep neodymium magnets away from the wallet, computer, and TV.
The strong magnetic field generated by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, etc. 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 should not be near 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.
So you are aware of why neodymium magnets are so dangerous, see the article titled How dangerous are very strong neodymium magnets?.
