AlNiCo magnets

We have AlNiCo magnets, also known as school magnets, in various shapes and sizes and for all kinds of magnet experiments in our assortment. Magnets made of AlNiCo (aluminium, nickel and cobalt alloy) are significantly stronger than ordinary refrigerator magnets made of ferrite but weaker than neodymium magnets. In addition, the material is also less brittle, which makes AlNiCo magnets suitable for experimentation. Buy our AlNiCo magnets online now and soon you can start your magnetic experiments.

Use AlNiCo magnets in combination with iron filings, a flux detector or ferrofluid, to easily make magnetic field lines visible. In addition, these school magnets are also great for picking up small ferrous objects.

Why AlNiCo magnets?

AlNiCo magnets achieve only low adhesive forces even with large sizes, which makes their handling easy. AlNiCo is also less brittle than the strong neodymium or the widely used ferrite – yet another characteristic that is ideal for experiments. Our magnets have marked north and south poles and are anisotropically magnetised. It makes them ideal for the visual demonstration of field lines. Questions about magnetisation are answered in our FAQ Is this magnet isotropic or anisotropic?. Even heat will hardly affect AlNiCo magnets, they are heat-resistant up to 500 °C and therefore much more robust than neodymium and ferrite magnets.

In order for you to find the magnet with the right attributes for your intended application, we have compiled all the characteristics of our different types of magnets in our FAQ about material composition What are neodymium, ferrite & AlNiCo magnets made of?.
