Precautions for Handling Alnico Magnets

Alnico is the first permanent magnet developed, which is an alloy composed of aluminum, nickel, cobalt, iron, and other trace metal elements. Nowadays, thanks to their excellent properties, Alnico magnets are widely used in many fields such as electric motors, electric guitar pickups, microphones, sensors, speakers, traveling wave tubes, cow magnets, etc. In this article, let’s take a deeper look at the precautions for handling Alnico magnets.

There are many things we need to pay attention to when using AlNiCo magnets. For example, when we use AlNiCo magnets, we must follow the relevant specifications, because the characteristics of different AlNiCo magnets are different.

When using AlNiCo magnets, we have to consider their working environment, because some special AlNiCo magnets will change their magnetic properties and other properties in certain environments. For example, in some high-temperature environments, the magnetic properties of some AlNiCo magnets will weaken or even disappear, so we can no longer use them.

Whether the use of AlNiCo magnets is standardized or not often affects the product performance, so some specifications need to be paid attention to when we use AlNiCo magnets.

When using AlNiCo magnets, try to use them individually, because if multiple AlNiCo magnets are used at the same time, they may collide. If damage occurs, the actual user experience will be greatly reduced. In addition, once the large AlNiCo magnets collide violently, the fragments of the magnets may hurt people’s eyes.

After use, it is necessary to store the alnico magnet correctly. Improper storage will affect the performance of the alnico magnet to a certain extent. Do not place AlNiCo magnets in a humid environment. Air with moisture may corrode the surface of AlNiCo magnets, which will affect the experience of using AlNiCo magnets.
