S
Safety
Goudsmit UK’s Neoflux® brand of Neodymium-iron-borion (Nd-Fe-B) magnets can be smaller than a penny, yet strong enough to lift over 10 kilograms. Handle them carefully to avoid personal injury and damage to the magnet.
Sudden attraction to iron or steel can result in pinched fingers or skin.
Made with special powders and coatings, they are brittle and break easily at temperatures above 150 °C or when slammed together. In such situations, the flying pieces may cause eye or other injuries.
Samples with ISIR Submission
Sample parts which are subject of the ISIR must be marked / labelled before submission. ISIR stands for Initial Sampling Inspection Report. The ISIR summarised the test results of initial samples, that were produced under serial circumstances.
Sand Blasting
Sandblasting is process of smoothing and cleaning a hard surface by forcing solid particles across that surface at high speeds using compressed air.
Soft Magnetic Material
Shaped piece of ferromagnetic material that once having been magnetised is very easily demagnetised, i.e., requires a slight coercive force to remove the resultant magnetism.
