Y30BH Ferrite Magnetic Material

This disc magnet is manufactured using Y30BH-grade ferrite, a ceramic permanent magnetic material.

Ferrite magnets are typically made from iron oxide combined with other ceramic materials and are widely used in commercial, industrial and household applications.

Benefits of Ferrite Magnets

Cost-Effective

Ferrite magnets are generally more economical than Neodymium rare earth magnets.

Corrosion Resistant

Ferrite material offers good natural resistance to corrosion without requiring the protective metal coatings commonly used on Neodymium magnets.

Permanent Magnetism

Provides long-lasting magnetic properties under suitable operating conditions.

Versatile Applications

Suitable for crafts, fridge magnets, magnetic displays, educational projects and general-purpose assemblies.

Practical Magnetic Performance

Offers dependable magnetic attraction for applications where the strength of rare earth magnets is unnecessary.

The exact pull force and surface Gauss of this product have not been specified.

Compact 13mm x 10mm Disc Design

The magnet measures:

• Diameter: 13mm

• Thickness: 10mm

• Magnetic Grade: Y30BH

• Material: Ferrite / Ceramic Magnet

Its circular shape and flat faces make it suitable for a variety of magnetic mounting arrangements.

The 10mm thickness creates a relatively deep disc profile, which may be useful in assemblies where a thicker magnetic component is preferred.

For applications requiring a flush or low-profile finish, check the available installation depth before selecting this magnet.

Ideal for Craft and Fridge Magnet Projects

Ferrite disc magnets are popular for creating decorative fridge magnets and handmade magnetic accessories.

Potential projects include:

• Personalised fridge magnets

• Handmade decorative magnets

• Magnetic artwork

• Craft displays

• Magnetic photo holders

• Magnetic labels

• DIY magnetic accessories

• Educational magnetic demonstrations

When attaching the magnet to a decorative item, use an adhesive suitable for both the ceramic magnet and the receiving material.

Always allow the adhesive to cure fully before use.

Magnetic Surface Compatibility

This ferrite disc magnet can attract compatible ferromagnetic materials, including:

• Mild steel

• Iron

• Carbon steel

• Certain magnetic stainless steel grades

• Compatible magnetic whiteboards with steel backing

Materials such as aluminium, brass, copper, plastic, timber and glass are not attracted to the magnet.

Please Note: Standard non-magnetic glassboards are not compatible with conventional ferrite magnets.

Factors Affecting Magnetic Holding Strength

The actual holding performance of a ferrite magnet depends on several factors:

Contact Surface: Clean, flat steel surfaces generally provide better magnetic contact.

Steel Thickness: Thin steel surfaces may provide reduced magnetic attraction.

Air Gaps: Paint, coatings, paper and other materials between the magnet and steel can reduce holding force.

Load Direction: Direct pull force differs from sideways or shear loading.

Magnet Orientation: The magnetisation direction affects magnetic performance.

Temperature: Excessive heat can affect magnetic properties.

Application Design: Adhesive layers, housings and mounting arrangements can influence the magnet's effectiveness.

Testing under actual operating conditions is recommended.

Technical Specifications

Handling and Installation Recommendations

Ferrite magnets are hard ceramic materials and can chip or break if dropped or subjected to impact.

For best results:

1. Confirm that the magnet's dimensions suit your project.

2. Check that the intended mounting surface is magnetically compatible.

3. Select a suitable adhesive if attaching the magnet to a decorative item.

4. Avoid dropping or striking the magnet against hard surfaces.

5. Prevent magnets from snapping together forcefully.

6. Test the completed assembly to ensure adequate holding performance.

Important: Ferrite magnets should not be drilled, cut or machined using conventional methods, as they may fracture and produce hazardous dust.

Compliance & Safety

Brittle Material: Ferrite magnets are ceramic and may chip or fracture under impact.

Swallowing Hazard: Small magnets can cause serious internal injuries if swallowed. Keep away from children.

Pinch Hazard: Magnets may attract unexpectedly and trap fingers or skin.

Medical Devices: Magnetic fields may interfere with pacemakers and other implanted medical devices.

Electronic Equipment: Keep away from magnetically sensitive equipment where interference may occur.

Mechanical Stress: Avoid excessive force, impact or crushing.

Temperature: Maximum operating temperature has not been specified.

Safety-Critical Applications: Do not use for lifting, suspended loads or safety-critical holding without appropriate engineering assessment.
