There are several grades of neodymium commercially available ranging from N35 to N55 alongside high-temperature variations, but all these different letters and numbers can be confusing, and it starts with the letter \u2018N\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grades all begin with \u2018N\u2019 for Neodymium<\/a> but the number that follows is more technical as it represents the maximum energy product of the magnet, a measure of its strength. Simply, the higher the maximum energy product value, the greater the magnetic field the magnet will generate in particular applications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A magnet of grade N42 has a Maximum Energy Product of Gauss 42 MGOe, while an N52, at 52 MGOe would be incrementally stronger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, higher grades should be used when the highest performance is needed and the available space for a magnet cannot be increased, otherwise, it may be more beneficial to use two N42 magnets compared to using one N52 magnet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Neodymium<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes you may see variations of the \u2018N\u2019 rating with one or two letters following the number, these denote high-temperature grades and will have a different maximum operating temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The maximum operating temperature is the maximum temperature a magnet can withstand before it begins to lose its magnetism permanently, these ratings should always be treated as a guide value as other factors such as shape and size will also affect the performance of a magnet at high temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
