Neodymium magnets are a member of the rare earth magnet family, and are the most permanent magnets in the world. They’re composed of Neodymium (Nd), Iron (Fe) and Boron (B), which makes them vulnerable to rust if they’re exposed to the elements. To protect the magnet from corrosion and to strengthen the brittle magnet material, the magnet is usually coated with nickel

Like other rare earth magnets, neodymium magnets have a high resistance to demagnetization. They will not lose their magnetization around other magnets, or if dropped. However, neodymium magnets will completely lose their magnetization if heated above their Curie temperature, which is 590°F (310°C) for standard N grades. BuyMagnets.com offers a selection of neodymium disc magnets that are of high-temperature material, which can withstand higher temperatures without losing strength.

Neodymium magnets are available for standard temperature and high-temperature applications. Standard temperature neodymium magnets will begin to lose strength if they are heated above their maximum operating temperature, which is 180°F (80°C). High-temperature neodymium magnets can safely be used at operating temperatures up to 300° Fahrenheit (149° Celsius)

Neodymium, Iron, Boron and a few transition metals will be mixed into the Neodymium powder, then fine Neodymium powder will be compacted in a die and sintered, fusing the powder in a solid state. There are two ways of pressing: die pressing and isostatic pressing. Sintered parts normally need some finish machining in order to meet final tolerances.
