What are Magnet Grades?
NdFeB magnets come in different grades, such as N42, N52 or N42SH. What do these numbers mean? What characteristics of magnets are involved in various grades?
What are Magnet Grades?
In general, higher numbers indicate stronger magnets. N52 is more magnetic than N42. These figures come from the actual material properties, which are expressed as the maximum magnetic energy product of the magnet material. It represents the demagnetization curve of the magnet. If you have two magnets of the same size and different brands, you will find that the magnet of high brand is much stronger.
How to measure the strength of a magnet?
This requires testing the magnetic field strength of a magnet. Gauss meter is usually used.
Magnets are commonly used in electric motors, generators, refrigerators, credit and debit cards, and in electronic devices such as electric guitar pickups, stereo speakers, and computer hard drives. They can be permanent magnets made of the natural magnetic form of iron or alloy, or they can be electromagnets. When the current passes through the wire coil wound on the iron core, the electromagnetic field will be generated. There are several factors that affect the strength of the magnetic field, and there are many ways to determine the strength of these magnetic fields. Both are described in the following article. Consider the properties of magnets. The magnetic properties are described using the following characteristics: coercivity of the magnetic field, abbreviated as Hc.
The magnetic field intensity is expressed in Gauss, which depends on the size, shape and grade of the product.
Use the following characteristics to describe the magnetic properties:
- Coercivity of magnetic field, abbreviated as Hc. This represents the point where the magnet can be blocked by another magnetic field. The higher the number, the more difficult it is to stop the magnet.
- The remaining flux density, abbreviated as br. This is the maximum flux that a magnet can produce.
- The general density of energy (Bmax) is related to the density of magnetic flux. The higher the number, the stronger the magnet will be.
- The temperature coefficient of the residual magnetic flux density (abbreviated as tcoef of Br, expressed as a percentage of centigrade) describes how the magnetic flux decreases as the temperature of the magnet increases. The tcoef of Br is 0.1, which means that if the temperature of the magnet increases by 100 ° C (180 ° f), the magnetic flux will decrease by 10%.
- The maximum working temperature (Tmax) is the maximum temperature at which the magnet can work without losing its magnetic field strength. Once the temperature drops below Tmax, the magnet will recover the full strength of its magnetic field. If the magnet is heated above Tmax and cooled to normal working temperature, it will lose some strength of its magnetic field permanently. However, if the magnet is heated to Curie temperature (tcuie for short), it is not recommended.
Materials for making permanent magnets
Permanent magnets are usually made of one of the following materials:
- Neodymium, iron and boron. This material has the highest level of magnetic flux density (12800 Gauss), coercive force of magnetic field (12300 Oster) and general energy density (40). It has the lowest maximum operating temperature and Curie temperature (150 ° C or 302 ° F and 310 ° C or 590 ° f respectively), and the temperature coefficient is – 0.12.
- The magnetic field coercivity of Mar CO is 9200 OST, but the magnetic flux density is 10500 Gauss and the total energy density is 26. At 300 ° C (572 ° f), its maximum operating temperature is much higher than the Curie temperature of Nd, Fe and B magnets; at 750 ° C (1382 ° f), its maximum operating temperature is also higher. The temperature coefficient is 0.04.
- Alnico is an alloy of aluminum, nickel and cobalt. Its magnetic flux density is close to that of Nd, Fe and B magnets (12500 Gauss), but the coercivity of magnetic field is much lower (640 Oster). Therefore, the general energy density is only 55. At 540 ° C (1004 ° f), its maximum operating temperature is higher than that of SA cobalt. The Curie temperature is higher, 860 ° C (1580 ° f), and the temperature coefficient is 0.02.
- The magnetic flux density and total energy density of ceramic magnet and ferrite magnet are much lower than those of other materials, 3900 Gauss and 3.5 Gauss, respectively. However, its flux density at 3200 osts is much better than that of Al Ni Co alloy. The maximum operating temperature is the same as that of SA cobalt, but the Curie temperature is much lower, which is 460 ° C (860 ° f), and the temperature coefficient is – 0.2. Therefore, the field strength loss of these magnets in heat is faster than that of magnets made of any other material.

NdFeB magnets are the most powerful type of permanent magnets available. The progress of magnets is the history of improving coercivity. Neodymium magnets are all strong and are not easy to demagnetize than other types of magnets.
Where does the number of N come from?
First, n stands for NdFeB, then the number stands for magnetic energy product, and then the letter stands for coercivity characteristics. For example, N35 without letter stands for the common type of N35, m for medium coercivity, h for high coercivity, etc.
Verification standard
The grade or brand of a magnet is determined by four physical characteristics: remanence BR, coercivity HCB, intrinsic coercivity Hcj and maximum magnetic energy product (BH) max.
Give an example
Let’s take the n42h magnet as an example.
N: It stands for NdFeB.
42: represents the maximum magnetic energy product of 42mgoe.
H: It represents high coercivity
The figure below is the international standard for physical parameters and properties of sintered NdFeB (small part).
The digital meaning of 42
We can see that the remanence data and maximum energy product data of N42 / N42M / N42H are the same,
The remanence and maximum energy product of N42 is higher than that of N35, which indicates that its magnetism is stronger than that of N35 and lower than that of N52, which indicates that its magnetism is lower than that of N52.
From this we can get a result: remanence determines the maximum magnetic energy product, the higher the brand number, the stronger the magnetic.
The meaning of H
From the figure above, we can see that the coercivity and intrinsic coercivity of N42H are higher than those of N42 and N42M, so their working temperature is different. N42 can only work below 80 ℃, N42M can work at 100 ℃ without demagnetization, and N42H can work at 120 ℃.
From this we can get a result: the highest working temperature is determined by the coercivity and intrinsic coercivity. The higher the coercivity is, the higher the working temperature is.
From the above, we know that remanence, coercivity, intrinsic coercivity and magnetic energy product determine the grade / grade of magnet.
The origin of data
After the material is sintered into blank, a drawing will be obtained by demagnetization curve instrument, which is BH demagnetization curve. These physical parameters are obtained by BH demagnetization curve.
Diagram of BH demagnetization curve
BH demagnetization curve is the most important index to judge the grade of magnet.
It is a drawing printed out by demagnetization curve tester of magnet material. From BH demagnetization curve, we can see four physical parameters of approved magnet grade / Brand: remanence, coercivity, intrinsic coercivity and maximum magnetic energy product.
Let’s take a look at N42H, the physical parameter standard of magnet grade.
Physical parameter standard
Figure 1
The figure above is the physical parameter standard of N42H, so let’s see whether the BH demagnetization curve figure (2) below is up to the standard according to the N42H brand material test.
BH demagnetization curve of N42H
Figure 2
Look at the picture
The maximum value of remanence BH: B line is 13.17kgs, which meets the standard
Coercivity HCB: the value of H-line diagonal point is 12.58koe, which meets the standard
Intrinsic coercivity Hcj: H 85koe, which is in line with the standard
Maximum magnetic energy product (BH) max: the tangent point with B ~ H curve is the maximum magnetic energy product point of this B ~ H curve, and its value is the maximum magnetic energy product. This value is 41.52mgoe, which meets the standard.
Verification results
The final verification result: the data obtained from Figure 2 (BH demagnetization curve) meets the physical parameter standard of N42H in Figure 1. According to this, the N42H magnet grade material tested is qualified.

Ferrite permanent magnet
Ferrite permanent magnet is made from SRO or Bao and Fe2O3 by sintering ceramic process. Because the raw materials are cheap and the production process is relatively simple, the finished product price is relatively low compared with other magnets. The main raw material of ferrite magnet is oxide, so it is not corroded by environment or chemical substances (except strong acid), so the surface does not need electroplating treatment. Mainly used in crafts, accessories, toys, motors, loudspeakers, etc.

Magnetization direction
Circular magnets are divided into axial and radial magnetization; square magnets are defined in three dimensions. We define the thickness dimension along the magnetization axis. Thickness is usually the smallest size, but not always! Sometimes, the longer side is used as the magnetization direction, but we still call the longer side thickness, but the longer number is usually placed at the last number. In this way, it is easy to see the magnetization direction of the square magnet at a glance. For example, F8 * 5 * 20, the magnetization direction is 20. In addition, there are four kinds of tile magnets.
