AlNiCo Ring Magnet is comprised of aluminum, nickel, cobalt, and iron with varying additions of other elements. There are two different manufacturing processes for AlNiCo: Cast and sintered. Cast AlNiCo can be made into many sizes and shapes, whereas Sintered AlNiCo is usually restricted to smaller sizes. However, both processes lead to complex geo1
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. Cast Alnico5 is the most commonly used of all the cast Alnicos. This material is used extensively in rotating machinery, 1
