Cast Alnico 5 is the most commonly used of all the cast Alnico's .It combines high indications with a high energy product of 5 MGOe or more and is used extensively in rotation machinery, communications, meters and instruments, sensing devices and holding applications. The higher resistance to demagnetization(coercive force) of Alnico 8,cobalt content to 35%,allows this material to function well for short lengths or for length to diameter ratios of less than 2 to 1.
