Small Neodymium Magnets
Small Neodymium Magnets
Small neodymium magnets offer many different uses. Their immense power far outshone that of less powerful ferrite magnets and so they find widespread application in industry and the home, including many applications related to water management and waste water treatment. Furthermore, these powerful magnets come in all sorts of shapes and sizes with both standard and high temperature versions available with higher coercivity that provides resistance against demagnetisation.
Neodymium iron boron magnets boast the strongest magnetic force on the market today, making them highly sought after permanent magnets. Their special composition allows neodymium magnets to boast such strong adhesive forces in comparison with their ferrite counterparts. Neodymium magnets can be produced using two processes; sintering and bonding. Sintering magnets is an industrial process where powdered mixtures of neodymium, iron and boron are combined in an induction furnace and then heated, often adding copper, gadolinium or dysprosium for specific grades of magnets. Compression bonding uses similar principles but instead involves compressing plastic-bonded neodymium magnets together until solid magnets emerge.
Neodymium magnets pose potential hazards when handled incorrectly, especially large neodymium magnets that can pinch between two magnets and cause injury when pinched between them - some larger models have even broken bones in children and damaged electronic equipment! To prevent injuries when handling magnets improperly, always ensure you have one free hand, place them away from anything that might be damaged by magnetic fields, and always follow all safety measures when handling neodymium magnets.
