Alnico alloys basically consist of aluminum,nickel,cobalt,copper,iron
and titanium.In some grades cobalt and/or titanium are
omitted.Also these alloys may contain additions of silicon,columbium,zirconium
or other elements which enhance heat treatment response
of one of the magnetic characteristics.
They are manufactured through either a casting or sintering
process. Cast magnets may be manufactured in complex shapes,
such as horseshoes, not possible with other magnet materials.Sintered
Alnicos offer slightly lower magnetic properties but better
mechanical characteristics than cast Alnicos. |
