Neodymium magnet shapes

Disc and cylinder magnets

Disc and cylindrical shapes cannot be identified as NdFeB by appearance alone. Documentation, dimensions, how consistently the lot is sorted and origin are relevant to the initial assessment.

Illustration of disc and cylinder magnets
Illustrative image: the visible shape does not establish the alloy, purity or magnet grade.

Four key details

Information needed for assessment

  1. 01Diameter and height
  2. 02Markings or material data
  3. 03Single-type or mixed lot
  4. 04Attached materials and foreign parts
Material identification requires evidence

Magnetic force, colour, coating or geometry alone are insufficient. Documentation, origin and, where appropriate, suitable analysis determine the material classification.
