Alnico magnets, composed primarily of aluminum (Al), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), and iron (Fe), with occasional additions of trace elements like copper (Cu) and titanium (Ti), have been a cornerstone of magnetic technology since their development in the early 20th century. Despite the emergence of advanced rare-earth magnets such as neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) and samarium-cobalt (SmCo), alnico magnets continue to occupy a unique niche in industrial and consumer applications due to their exceptional thermal stability, corrosion resistance, and specific magnetic properties. This article explores the core advantages of alnico magnets and identifies scenarios where they remain irreplaceable by other permanent magnets.
