AlNiCo magnets

AlNiCo magnets are composed of Aluminum,
Nickel,Cobalt, and a few transition metals. They
have excellent temperature stability, high residual
induction, and relatively high energies. AlNiCo
magnets may be manufactured in complex shapes,
such as horseshoes, not possible with other
magnet materials. They represent the most
versatile magnets available.
Manufacturing Process
Alnico magnets are manufactured through either
casting or sintering processes.
Cast magnets are manufactured by pouring a
molten metal alloy into a mold and then further
processing it through various heat-treat cycles.
The resulting magnet has a dark gray exterior
appearance, and may have a rough surface.
Machined surfaces have a shiny appearance similar
to steel. Sintered magnets are manufactured by compacting fine Alnico powder in a press, and then sintering the compacted powder into a solid magnet.
