How to safely handle and store neodymium iron boron ring magnets with strong magnetism?

1. Wear protective equipment
Personal safety protection is crucial when dealing with strong magnetic neodymium iron boron ring magnets. It is recommended to wear goggles to prevent debris or fragments generated by the sudden adsorption or release of magnets during operation from splashing into the eyes, causing irreversible injury. At the same time, wearing gloves is also necessary, which can not only protect the hands from the risk of scratches or pinch injuries, but also reduce the direct contact of oil, dust, or corrosive substances that may exist on the surface of the magnet with the hands. Goggles and gloves should be selected from products that meet safety standards and regularly inspected and replaced to ensure their protective effectiveness.

2. Handle with care to avoid impact
Neodymium iron boron magnets are known for their hardness and brittleness, and their magnetic field strength is extremely high, so special care must be taken during processing. Magnets should be handled with care to avoid sudden drops or severe impacts, as this may cause damage to the internal microstructure of the magnet, thereby weakening its magnetic properties or causing the magnet to completely break. When the magnet itself or other iron objects attract or separate, it will generate a great force, and if operated improperly, it may cause hand or finger injuries. Therefore, in these situations, careful handling with both hands should be used to maintain a stable posture and ensure the smooth movement of the magnet.

3. Avoid direct contact with sensitive items
The strong magnetic field of neodymium iron boron ring magnets has the potential to be destructive to many objects. For example, it may damage electronic components in electronic devices, leading to device malfunctions; It can interfere with data in magnetic recording media such as credit cards, magnetic tapes, and hard drives, causing data loss or damage; It may also interfere with medical devices such as pacemakers, endangering patient safety. When handling magnets, direct contact with these sensitive items should be avoided. If it is necessary to store magnets near these items, ensure that the magnets are completely shielded or kept at a safe distance from these items.

4. Use specialized tools for movement or fixation
It is crucial to use specialized tools when dealing with strong magnetic neodymium iron boron ring magnets. Due to the strong attraction of magnets to ferromagnetic materials, using iron or tools with high iron content to move or fix magnets may cause the tools to be attracted by the magnets, resulting in operational difficulties or safety hazards. Non magnetic tools such as wood, plastic, or cardboard should be used. These tools not only do not attract magnets, but also effectively protect the surface of magnets from scratches or damage. Meanwhile, when using these tools, attention should also be paid to maintaining a stable posture and force to ensure the safety and accuracy of the operation.

5. Store away from magnetic objects
When storing strong magnetic neodymium iron boron ring magnets, they should be stored away from other magnetic objects. This is because magnets attract each other, and if the distance is too close, it may cause magnetization weakening or magnetic pole reversal. Especially when multiple magnets are stored together, it is important to ensure that they are kept at an appropriate distance and separated by non-magnetic partitions or containers. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid storing magnets in areas with strong magnetic fields, such as near motors, generators, or large electromagnets, to prevent interference and influence from external magnetic fields.

6. Store in non-magnetic containers
In order to maintain the magnetic properties of the strong magnetic neodymium iron boron ring magnet and extend its service life, non-magnetic containers should be selected for storage. Common non-magnetic materials include wood, plastic, and cardboard. These materials not only will not be adsorbed by magnets, but also effectively protect magnets from external environmental erosion. When choosing a container, attention should be paid to its size and shape matching the magnet to ensure that the magnet can be stably placed in the container. At the same time, the container should have good sealing and moisture resistance to prevent the magnet from getting damp or being corroded by other pollutants.
