The Current State of the Neodymium Magnet Industry Introduction Neodymium magnets, also known as NdFeB magnets, are the strongest type of permanent magnets available today. They are made from an alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron (Nd2Fe14B). Since their development in the 1980s, these magnets have become essential components in a wide range of applications,...Read More

The Importance of Neodymium Magnets Neodymium magnets, also known as NdFeB, NIB, or Neo magnets, are the most widely used type of rare-earth magnets. Composed primarily of an alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron, these magnets are known for their exceptional strength and versatility. Since their development in the early 1980s, neodymium magnets have revolutionized...Read More

The Danger Within: Swallowing Magnets Can Be a Serious Health Risk Swallowing a magnet might seem harmless, but it can lead to serious health complications. Magnets, especially strong ones like neodymium magnets, can attract each other through the walls of the digestive tract. This attraction can cause the magnets to pinch or trap tissue between...Read More

Magnet grades describe magnetic material performance—not pull force or surface gauss. Learn what N35, N42, N52 and temperature suffixes such as H, SH, UH and EH mean, how BHmax, Br and HcJ differ, and how engineers should choose the right grade for an application.Read More
