Details about Neodymium Magnets

Neodymium magnets and rare earth magnets are not the same thing. Moreover, neodymium magnets are used in a variety of purposes. It has various useful attributes. It is the most common type of rare earth magnets; those are used in numerous household applications. It is true that these Neodymium magnets are strongest substances among all other magnets available on the earth.

As the Neodymium magnets are very strong in nature they are identified with the grades like N35, N40, N42, N45, N48, N50, N52. It is the magnetized field or the maximum strength they can be magnetized to. A greater number shows an increased magnetic power; while the stronger the magnet is more brittle as well.

It is not advisable to drill, cut or machine neodymium magnets. Experts do not advise you to do so as the substance is very hard and brittle in nature. Any attempt to do the same may cause a break or damage to the magnet. Moreover the heat produced in the process of machining may result demagnetize to the magnet. So you cannot solder or weld a neodymium magnet. The high heat generated will do damage to its magnetized property. There is a chance of getting fire too. You should consider the temperature aspect while dealing with Neodymium magnets. This is a magnet very sensitive to heat. Basing on the grade this heat may demagnetize and lose their magnetic strength. Use of Salt water is not good for a neodymium magnet.

Over the period of time also the neodymium magnets will not lose their strength. Neodymium magnets are the strongest and most permanent type of magnets in the world. Only if you over heat it, there is a chance of lose of their strength.

No health risk is associated with the use of neodymium magnets. Persons even exposed to this type of material will not be open to any known health risks. There may be a chance of risk if the person is having pacemaker. For more detail you can take the help of a health expert. Magnets have some health benefit and that is the reason why it is used in medical science as well in the process of healing and medication. Hence it is true that Strong magnets can cause some physical hazard if not handled carefully. So follow the safety measures while you are dealing with magnets.

No, it is not advisable to place a magnet directly near to the computer or hard drive. It may cause harm to your computer. The Magnetic power can damage the things like floppy disks, etc. A powerful neodymium magnet is there inside a hard drives already. Keeping another one may affect your data.
