Important Information About Magnets
Breakage and Fragmentation
Neodymium magnets, though strong, are brittle. If they collide with each other at high speed, they may shatter, producing sharp fragments. Handle them carefully to avoid hard impacts, and do not let them snap together freely.
Keep Out of Reach of Children
Neodymium magnets are not toys and should not be given to children. Small magnets can pose a choking hazard, and if multiple magnets are swallowed, they may cause severe internal injuries.
Sudden Attraction Between Magnets
When working with neodymium magnets, they can unexpectedly snap together, even from across a surface. If fingers are caught between them, small magnets can cause skin injuries, while larger magnets may cause more serious harm.
Sensitive Objects and Magnetic Fields
Neodymium magnets produce powerful magnetic fields. Always keep them at least 20 cm away from objects sensitive to magnetic fields, which can be damaged by external magnetism. Such items include pacemakers, watches, credit cards, cassettes, phones, CRT TVs, and GPS devices.
Nickel Allergy
Most neodymium magnets are coated with nickel. If you have a nickel allergy, consider wearing gloves if handling these magnets for extended periods.
Operating Temperature
Neodymium magnets function best in cold environments, performing optimally at around -130°C. However, they do not handle high temperatures (above 80°C) well and may not fully regain their strength if exposed to excessive heat.
Working with Magnets
Avoid drilling or machining neodymium magnets, as the dust produced is flammable.
