Alnico magnets are made from Aluminum, Nickel, Cobalt, Copper, Iron and other components in smaller quantities. They are the only permanent magnets made using a casting process. The hot mixture is poured into the mold and after it has cooled, it is unmolded and polished. During the cooling process, the pieces are subjected to a magnetic field that orients the particles. The end result is an anisotropic magnet.
The maximum working temperature is 550ºC.
Offered in a wide range of sizes and shapes.
It is a type of magnet specially indicated for the manufacture of magnetic contacts.
