The red horseshoe is the universal symbol of magnets recognized around the world. Each magnet includes a keeper to help retain magnetic power. * * More About Alnico: Made from aluminum, nickel, cobalt and iron, alnico is primarily used for magnetic applications requiring a high heat tolerance. * * More common applications include educational and scientific experiments, magnetos, coin acceptors, clutches and bearings, relays, generators, loudspeakers, guitar pickups and cow magnets.
- Made primarily from aluminum, nickel, cobalt, copper, iron and sometimes titanium
- Most common magnet grades come in Grade 5 and Grade 8
- Powerful and sturdy design
- Durable red enamel finish resists corrosion
- Very temperature stable, great for high heat applications
- High residual induction and energy product compared to ceramic material
- Low coercive force compared to ceramic and rare earth materials (more subject to demagnetization)
- Ideal for school experiments and high heat applications
- Retrieve small metal items
- Makes a great gift
