What are neodymium magnets and how are they made?
Neodymium magnets are the strongest permanent magnets in the world. They are composed of Neodymium Iron and Boron. They are also known as Neo, NIB, or NdFeB magnets. • How do they compare to other magnets? Are they the strongest? Yes, Neodymium magnets are much stronger than any other permanent magnet available today. Neodymium magnets are about 10 times stronger than cerramic or ferrite magnets. • What does the grade or rating of the magnets mean? Neodymium magnetic material comes in different grades with different capabilities. In general, the grades balance the thermal capabilities of the material with the maximum energy product. • Do neodymium magnets require a keeper? No, Neodymium magnets will retain their strength for a lifetime without a keeper of any kind. • How do I identify the poles of the magnet? You can use a compass, a gauss meter, or an already identified pole of another magnet. • Is one pole stronger than the other? No, both poles have the same surface gauss. • Can you
