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 thin layer of gold-nickel to increase their durability. 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. 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 where solvents are present, 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 guaranteed.
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 nickel, to shield them from external factors and extend their lifespan. Temperatures exceeding 130°C can result in a reduction of their magnetic properties, although there are particular types of neodymium magnets that can tolerate temperatures up to 230°C.
As for potential dangers, it is important to avoid using neodymium magnets in acidic conditions, basic conditions, organic or solvent environments, unless they are insulated. Additionally, their use is not recommended in wet conditions, oil, or in an environment containing hydrogen, as they may lose their magnetic properties.
Shopping tips
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.
In addition to immense strength, neodymium magnets have the following advantages:
- They do not lose their power (of the magnet). After about 10 years, their strength decreases by only ~1% (theoretically),
- They are exceptionally resistant to demagnetization caused by an external magnetic field,
- 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,
- Magnetic neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet and can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures of 230°C or higher...
- The ability for precise shaping and customization to specific needs – neodymium magnets can be produced in many variants of shapes or sizes, which amplifies their universality in usage.
- Significant importance in the industry of new technologies – find application in HDD drives, electric motors, medical equipment or very modern machines.
Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
- They are fragile when subjected to a strong 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 strength 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,
- 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
- Possible danger to health from tiny fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally ingested, which becomes significant in the aspect of protecting young children. It's also worth noting that miniscule components of these magnets are able to hinder the diagnostic process when they are in the body.
Exercise Caution with Neodymium Magnets
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.
Neodymium magnets are extremely fragile, leading to breaking.
Neodymium magnets are highly fragile, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will crumble. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel surface, but they are not as hard as steel. At the moment of collision between the magnets, sharp metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
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. Do not forget to keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from these electronic devices.
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 will attract each other within a distance of several to around 10 cm from each other. Remember not to place fingers between magnets or in their path when they attract. Magnets, depending on their size, can even cut off a finger or alternatively there can be a significant pressure or even a fracture.
People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.
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.
Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.
Despite the fact that magnets have been observed to maintain their efficacy up to temperatures of 80°C or 175°F, it's essential to consider that this threshold may fluctuate depending on the magnet's type, configuration, and intended usage.
Comparing neodymium magnets to ferrite magnets (found in speakers), they are 10 times more powerful, and their strength can surprise you.
Please review the information on how to handle neodymium magnets and avoid significant harm to your body, as well as prevent unintentional disruption to the magnets.
Magnets should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for children to have access to them.
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.
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.
Avoid bringing neodymium magnets close to a phone or GPS.
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.
