Product Description
What is an Alnico Magnet?

Alnico magnets, composed of primarily aluminum (Al), nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co), were developed in the 1940s. This class of magnet remains a preferred material because of its excellent temperature stability, high magnetic flux density, and resistance to corrosion.

Alnico magnets are manufactured through a casting or sintering process. The casting process allows the magnet to be manufactured into intricate and complex shapes. Sintered Alnico is made from a powdered mixture of ingredients that are pressed into a die under tons of pressure. The Sintering process allows for the magnets to be manufactured to tighter tolerances and higher mechanical strength.

Sintered Alnico Magnets

They have marginally lower magnetic properties, but better mechanical properties, than cast Alnico. Their fine grain structure results in highly uniform flux distributions and mechanical strength. So they are suited for applications requiring short magnets.

See the table below for grades and properties of cast Alnico magnets.
