Neodymium material specification

Contents in NdFeb

Sintered neodymium magnets are composed primarily of neodymium, iron, and boron. The chemical formula Nd2Fe14B represents the basic composition of these magnets. Neodymium is a rare-earth element, while iron and boron are common ferromagnetic materials. This combination results in a powerful magnetic field that surpasses that of other types of magnets.

More exact composition of a NdFeB magnet is (a few % differ from each batch): Neodymium [Nd]: 35%, Iron [Fe]: 61%, Boron [B]: 1.2%, Dysprosium [Dy]: 0.8%, Copper [Cu]: 0.2%, Aluminium [Al]: 0.9%, Gallium [Ga]: 0.9%.

Energy product (BHmax)

Sintered neodymium magnets are most known for their remarkable magnetic properties. They have extremely high magnetic strength, often characterized by their maximum energy product (BHmax), which is a measure of the magnetic energy stored in the material. This is measured in Mega Gauss Oersteds, or MGOe. NdFeB magnets can have BHmax values that are significantly higher than other permanent magnets, making them ideal for applications where strong magnetic fields are required in a compact form.

To make it simple, the energy product is specified as N35, N38, N40, N42, N45, N48, N50 and N52. Our standard neodymium grade is N36. The higher number, the stronger magnet. As for now the strongest available neodymium grade is N52. See our Neodymium material table below for all different Neodymium grades.

To compare strength of different materials, see the MGOe specification. For example, ferrite go from approx 3 -5 MGOe and Neodymium go from 31 - 53 MGOe, which means Neodymium is approx 10 times the strength of a ferrite magnet in the same volume.

Working temperature (Coercivity, HcJ)

When you look at the magnet table of available materials there are different letters after some of the grades. These letters represent the magnet’s ability to withstand demagnetization forces, which can be temperature or other magnetic forces working against the magnet. We define the coercive force using the most common system, the lettering system. This letter system uses the following letters after the grade to define the magnets specification to fight demagnetization forces: M, H, SH, UH, EH, and AH.

When a letter is used after a magnet grade, it indicates that that specific material has a greater ability to fight demagnetizing forces. For our purpose, we are going to use heat as the demagnetizing force as it is most common force effecting the magnet. And, the following examples are “general rules” and not “hard and set rules”.

A Neodymium Magnet with no letter after the grade, i.e. N38, or N45, or N52, would indicate that it has the ability to work in an environment that has a maximum operating temperature no greater than 80C. A magnet with an “M” (i.e. N35M, N42M, etc.) generally means that a magnet can be used in an operating environment up to 100C. An “H” material is good up to 120C, “SH” up to 150C, “UH” up to 180C, “EH” up to 200C, and a “AH” up to 220C. Again, these are general specifications and other factors do play a role in coercivity decisions - like Permeance Coefficient (Pc).

Permeance Coefficient (Pc)

The permeance coefficient measures how easily magnetic flux flows through a material. It quantifies the ability of a material to conduct magnetic flux. A higher permeance coefficient means the material allows magnetic flux to pass through more easily, while a lower coefficient indicates less permeability to magnetic flux. In simpler terms, it's like a measure of how friendly a material is to magnetic fields, determining how effectively it can channel or resist other magnetic forces.

What this means in practice is that a thinner cylinder magnet (lower Pc) will be demagnetized by heat faster than a thicker/taller (higher Pc) cylinder magnet. And depending on the Pc value, the thinner magnet may demagnetize before its rated maximum operating temperature. At the same time, a thicker magnet can exceed the maximum working temperature without being affected.

Surface treatment / coating

NdFeB-magnets oxidate easily, therefore the magnets are always delivered with a galvanic coating. Our standard range is coated with nickel or zinc. What distinguishes Zn (Zinc) and NiCuNi (Nickel-Copper-Nickel) from eachother is that Zn can have a slighty better adhesion when it comes to gluing and taping. If the magnet is to be in a humid environment, we recommend a nickel-epoxy treatment.

See our coating page to decide which surface treatment is best for your application!
