What are some common applications for neodymium magnets? Neodymium Magnets can be used to keep drawers closed, keep cabinet doors closed, keep expensive chef knives safe and sharp on the wall or drawer. For applications where this is critical, SmCo may be the better choice, since its magnetic properties are very stable at elevated temperatures. They are however, more sensitive to temperature. What are the main characteristics of neodymium magnets? Neodymium magnets are far less subject to cracking & chipping and less costly than other rare-earth magnetic material such as Samarium Cobalt ("SmCo"). How long do neodymium magnets last? Neodymium magnets will likely lose less than approximately 1% of their flux density over a 10-year period if their physical properties remain intact, and they are not subjected to demagnetizing influences (such as high-temperatures, opposing magnetic fields, radiation etc.). This can potentially lead to a lower overall cost, as the size of the entire device can shrink. Although they are more costly than ceramic magnets, strong neodymium magnets pack a powerful punch! A primary benefit is that you can use a smaller sized NdFeB magnet to achieve the same objective as a larger, less expensive magnet. Why are neodymium magnets so strong? Neodymium magnets are considered strong because they have a high saturation magnetization and resist demagnetization. They are also referred to as “NdFeB”, “Neo” or “NIB” magnets, as they are composed mainly of Neodymium (Nd), Iron (Fe) and Boron (B).



What is a neodymium magnet? Neodymium magnets are strong permanent magnets, and part of the Rare-Earth magnet family.
