As the world invents and develops, we humans are continuously being
introduced to new materials and methods for improving our living standards and
making life easy. Leaps in the magnets industry is yet another area of
development and focus. Neodymium is basically a rare Earth element which is
mixed up with other important elements such as iron and boron to produce the
world’s strongest permanent magnets. These permanent magnets are infamously
known as neodymium
magnets as well as neo, NIB, NdFeb and super magnets commonly. The extreme
strength threshold of these magnets can be understood from the fact that even a
small mass has the ability to easily support a load a thousand times its own
weight. Due to the easily available raw materials along with the affordable
price and remarkable product performance, neodymium magnets of all shapes and
sizes are mass produced and are readily available for numerous applications in
electronics, jewelry, toys and various industrial equipment.
Neo magnets come in various grades from the weakest N24 up to the
strongest i.e. N55 in terms of magnetism measurement. More commonly, the
quality of the magnet purchased is also dependent upon the place or company of
purchase. NIB production is carried out through separating neodymium from other
minerals through sifting and then combining it with other elements such as
boron and iron. Certain problem posing characteristics of neodymiums are
fragility and brittle in nature which may result in instant chipping or
breakage in cases of high momentum collisions. However, such magnets are more
usually covered with a strong protective coating in order to prevent rusting in
response to the presence of iron in them. In addition, if these super magnets
are heated to temperatures above their Curie value that would result in
instant, permanent and irreversible demagnetization.
In recent years, neo magnets have replaced nearly all other types of
magnets that were previously being used for commercial purposes. This basically
is in result to NIB’s immense versatility along with successful as well as
affordable application in nearly all modern products. These super strong neo’s
have helped revolutionized the world’s usage and ease in terms of generators,
computers, state of the art electronic cars, headphones, televisions and even
the mobile phones that we use on an everyday basis. Due to the rapidly rising
demand of these incredible neodymium magnets, many companies such as Stanford Magnets among others are
also catering to pre-order industrial demands for future purposes.
Lastly, Neodymium super magnets come in all shapes and sizes which
can also be customized according to the user’s criteria. Some common shapes for
NiFed are neo
disc magnets, ring
magnets, cylinder shaped or in form of block.
