>They are also more tolerant of high temperatures than neodymium based magnets.

Ooh, that's exciting. The nickel coatings on NdB magnets is nicely conductive, but they are difficult to solder to without destroying their magnetism.

One neat trick is that neodymium magnets seem to tolerate extreme temperatures better if you cover as much of them as possible with slabs of ferrous metal during the time that they are at an elevated temperature.
