Neodymium magnets are most powerful of any kind of magnetic materials
Br of Neodymium magnets are much more than 11,000 Gauss. Therefore, Neodymium magnets have strong holding strength on metal surface and could be used as component for holding, separating, etc.
Neodymium magnets must be carefully handled to avoid personal injury and material damage due to its extremely magnetic strength and brittle property.
Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature change and even lose magnet properties at high temperature
Neodymium magnets lose -0.09 ~ -0.13% of Br/°C and can work stably under 80°C for low Hci Neodymium magnets and 150°C for high Hci Neodymium magnets.
Neodymium magnets are corrupted in humid environment
Surface protection is strongly recommended, such as plating, varnishing and encapsulating.
Neodymium magnets are hard and brittle
Neodymium magnets can be abrasively machined with coolant served to absorb heating and dust. Without coolant, rare earth magnets could crack and chip by the heat produced during high speed cutting or grinding, and the sparks contain the easily oxidized grinding dust that could cause fire!
Tolerance of Neodymium magnets
Unless otherwise specified, tolerance on dimension of magnetization is ±.005”. Other dimensions are ±1.5% or ±.010”, whichever is greater.
