Permanent Magnets

AlNiCo Magnets

AlNiCo magnets, short for aluminum-nickel-cobalt magnets, are a type of permanent magnet known for their strong magnetic properties and stability at high temperatures. Composed of aluminum, nickel, cobalt, and iron, these magnets have been widely used for decades in various applications, including electric guitar pickups, sensors, and specialised industrial equipment. AlNiCo magnets are valued for their ability to maintain a consistent magnetic strength over a wide range of temperatures, making them reliable for diverse uses in both electronic and industrial settings.

Choose from our selection on AlNiCo magnets. We have a range of Sintered AlNiCo magnets and Cast AlNiCo magnets, depending on how you intend to use your permanent magnets.

Sintered AlNiCo

Unlike cast AlNiCo magnets, sintered AlNiCo magnets offer lower magnetic properties but better mechanical characteristics. Mixes of metal powders are pressed to shape and size, and then sintered at 2300oF in a hydrogen atmosphere. The sintering process is well suited to large volume production.

Cast AlNiCo

Cast AlNiCo can be processed to be intricate and complex shapes to meet customer’s demand .Some types of AlNiCo are isotropic, meaning they can be efficiently magnetised in any direction. Other types, such as AlNiCo 5 and AlNiCo 8 are anisotropic, meaning they have a preferred direction of magnetisation.
