Description
The Red Cast Alnico 5 U-shaped magnet is a durable and versatile magnet with a red coating. It has a high heat resistance and medium magnetic pull, and comes with a keeper to retain its strength. It can provide up to 3 lb. of pull strength to a perpendicular surface and can withstand temperatures up to 975 degrees F. The magnet is made of aluminum, nickel, and cobalt with iron and other metals to enhance its properties. It is stable and can be formed into complex shapes, producing strong magnetic fields. Alnico magnets are easily demagnetized and re-magnetized and can be plated or coated. They are also resistant to corrosion.
The cast Alnico 5 U-shaped magnet with red coating offers high heat resistance and medium magnetic pull, and comes with a keeper to retain magnetic strength. The magnet provides a maximum of 3 lb. of pull strength to a perpendicular surface (pounds of pull strength does not apply to shear force). The magnet can withstand temperatures up to 975 degree F. Resistance to demagnetizing is low and resistance to corrosion is high.Alnico magnets are made by casting or sintering aluminum, nickel, and cobalt with iron and small amounts of other metals to enhance the magnet grades specific properties. Magnetism is very stable in Alnico magnets, even in high-temperature technical applications. They can be formed in fairly complex shapes and produce highly magnetic fields in certain configurations. Alnico magnets are easily de-magnetized and re-magnetized. Alnico magnets can be plated with a variety of metals or given a coating that is usually red. They do not corrode.
