Suggestions for Safely Using Neodymium Magnets.
The strength of neodymium magnets is greater than other types of magnets
Neodymium magnets are incredibly strong magnets that can be hazardous in specific circumstances. It is important to remember that neodymium magnets are extremely powerful and can attract other metal objects, which can lead to injury or damage to the body.
If you need to work with neodymium magnets, it is important to exercise caution and follow appropriate safety measures, such as wearing appropriate protective equipment (e.g., safety goggles), avoiding working with magnets near computers or other electronic devices, and keeping magnets apart from each other to prevent them from attracting and potentially causing harm or projectiles to be ejected in case of collision, which can pose a threat to your vision.
Neodymium magnets are also extremely hard and brittle, so it is advisable to avoid striking, throwing, or dropping magnets as they can quickly break or split.
In conclusion, neodymium magnets are powerful tools that can be hazardous if not used with due caution, so it is important to observe appropriate safety measures when working with them.
To separate magnets, grasp the top magnet, remove it from the stack, and pull it apart swiftly.
Remember to keep your magnets at least 20 cm away from sensitive electrical devices and storage media.
Neodymium magnets retain their magnetic properties for decades when properly handled and stored at room temperature.
Children should under no circumstances use neodymium magnets for entertainment purposes.
The use of magnets should take place on a metal table or alternatively on a magnetic surface. Magnets must stay where you put them and not "fly" simultaneously to others.
If you work with magnets, you should wear safety glasses and protective gloves (when needed).
When holding magnets in your hands, you should remember to keep your hands at a proper distance from each other.
You should not drill or heat neodymium magnets.
Immediately apply ice to any pinched skin to reduce discomfort. In the case of contact with larger magnets, significant swelling can occur.
Seek medical assistance in case of significant injury.
Handle Neodymium Magnets Carefully
Neodymium magnets can become demagnetized at high temperatures.
Although magnets have shown to retain their effectiveness up to 80°C or 175°F, this temperature may vary depending on the type of material, shape, and intended use of the magnet.
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 coating is made of nickel, so be cautious 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 the strongest, most remarkable magnets on earth, and the surprising force between them can shock you at first.
Make sure to review all the information we have provided. This will help you avoid harm to your body and damage to the magnets.
Keep neodymium magnets away from TV, wallet, and computer HDD.
The strong magnetic field generated by neodymium magnets can destroy magnetic media such as floppy disks, video tapes, HDDs, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, or other devices. They can also damage videos, 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.
Magnets made of neodymium are delicate as well as can easily crack and get damaged.
Neodymium magnets are highly fragile, and by joining them in an uncontrolled manner, they will crack. Magnets made of neodymium are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel, but they are not as durable as steel. At the moment of connection between the magnets, small metal fragments can be dispersed in different directions.
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 are primarily characterized by their significant internal force. They attract to each other, and any object that comes in their way will be affected.
Magnets will attract each other within a distance of several to around 10 cm from each other. Remember not to put fingers between magnets or alternatively in their path when attract. Magnets, depending on their size, can even cut off a finger or alternatively there can be a serious pressure or even a fracture.
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.
