2. Iron-nickel-aluminium alloys (alnicos)
These alloys, known since the 1930s, marked a clear advance in the field of permanent magnets at a time when only martensitic hard steels were used. The starting point was the NiAlFe 2 alloy, whose properties were considerably improved by a number of additions such as cobalt and titanium, as well as by heat treatments.
Different families of magnets can be obtained from these alloys:
isotropic alloys ;
anisotropic alloys ;
alloys with directed or columnar crystallization ;
sintered alloys.
These magnets are prepared by melting and casting to produce relatively fragile, high-hardness parts. Machining is carried out by diamond grinding or...
