alnico block magnet

Alnico block magnet for staple style P90 guitar pickups Unleashing the Power of Alnico Alnico block magnet are the heart and soul of many iconic guitar pickups, including the classic P90. These magnets, composed of aluminum, nickel, cobalt, and iron, deliver a unique tonal character that has captivated guitarists for decades. As a result, when […]

The difference between FeCrCo and AlNiCo magnets

The difference between FeCrCo and AlNiCo magnets FeCrCo (iron-chromium-cobalt) and AlNiCo (aluminum-nickel-cobalt) magnets are two distinct types of permanent magnets, each with unique properties and applications. Here are the main differences: Composition: FeCrCo magnets : Primarily made of iron, chromium, and cobalt, with possible additions of other elements like nickel or copper to enhance specific […]

Manufacturing process of sintered AlNiCo

Main production process 1.Milling: The process begins by grinding the raw materials (aluminum, nickel, cobalt, etc.) into a fine powder. 2.Pressing: The powdered mixture is then pressed under high pressure in a mold shaped like the desired magnet. 3.Sintering: Next, the pressed material is heated in a hydrogen furnace at a very high temperature. This […]

The difference between cast AlNiCo and sintered AlNiCo magnet

The difference between cast AlNiCo and sintered AlNiCo magnet Cast AlNiCo and sintered AlNiCo are both AlNiCo magnets, but they are different from each other, especially in production process, characteristics and application. Manufacturing Process: Cast AlNiCo magnet: This type is made by pouring a molten alloy into a mold and then allowing it to cool and […]

The difference between fully oriented, semi-oriented and non-oriented AlNiCo magnets

AlNiCo (Aluminum-Nickel-Cobalt) magnets can be classified based on their orientation into fully oriented, semi-oriented, and non-oriented types. Here’s an overview of each:          1.Fully Oriented AlNiCo Magnets: These magnets are produced by heating the alloy above its Curie temperature in the presence of a strong magnetic field. The resulting magnets have a […]

Alnico Odometer Magnet and Speedometer Magnet

Odometer Magnet

An Alnico odometer magnet and speedometer magnet are both types of permanent magnets used in vehicles. They are typically made from an alloy of aluminum, nickel, and cobalt (AlNiCo), which gives them several advantages for this application.Usually use Alnico 2 magnet and Alnico 3 magnet. AlNiCo odometer magnets are a reliable and cost-effective choice for […]

Alnico Speedometer Magnets

Motorcycle speedometer magnets originated in the 1970s. At first, Alnico2 D23*D13.5*3 was widely used. Later, with the development of the times, Alnico3 D23*D6*4 gradually replaced Alnico2 in order to save costs. They are both isotropic magnets. Speedometer magnets are usually not magnetized. They are magnetized after being installed in the movement and assembled to prevent […]

How Guitar Pickups Magnet Size Shapes Your Tone

guitar pickups magnet

Guitar pickups are the core component of electric guitar sound. Its tone depends on many factors,of which guitar pickup magnets size is an important one. The size of the magnet will affect the magnetic field strength of the pickup, thereby affecting the tone of the pickup. The main sizes of Guitar pickup magnets used in […]

How to identify Alnico magnets?

Here’s how to identify the Alnico magnets mentioned above: Visual clues: Luster: Alnico magnets usually have a metallic luster, while ferrites (ceramics) are usually dark gray and lack luster. Neodymium (NdFeB) magnets can also have a shiny appearance, but it may be a brighter silver or gray. Samarium cobalt magnets usually have a dark gray […]
