AlNiCo material 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.
Alnico magnets can be made into many shapes and sizes during manufacturing process by using the casting processing method. Cast Alnico magnets are manufactured by pouring the molten metal alloy of Alnico into a mold and then further processing it through heat treated and cooled alternatively. The solidified material has a dark gray appearance on the exterior and may be roughly ground. Magnets that have been polished using machines, may have a shiny gray surface similar to that of steel.
