Horseshoe Alnico Retrieving Magnet
Our industrial grade ALNICO (Aluminum/Nickel/Cobalt) Magnets are built for heavy duty use and will not naturally demagnetize over time like other magnets. They are handy in a plethora of applications and work settings.
Features:
Horseshoe Type ALNICO
Strong magnetic pull for lifting, holding, sorting, clamping or retrieving steel or iron parts
Hole in top of magnet for attaching conveyors, racks, and welding jigs
Powerful and sturdy and includes a keeper to help retain magnetic power
Made primarily from aluminum, nickel, cobalt and iron
Used by crafters, teachers and do-it-yourselfers for retrieving small steel parts and screws from hard-to-get-at places
Height: 1"
Width: 1.5"
Depth: 3/4"
Pull lbs: 13

Alnico alloys have some of the highest Curie points of any magnetic material, around 800 °C (1,470 °F), although the maximum working temperature is normally limited to around 538 °C (1,000 °F).[6] They are the only magnets that have useful magnetism even when heated red-hot.[7] This property, as well as its brittleness and high melting point, is the result of the strong tendency toward order due to intermetallic bonding between aluminium and its other constituents. They are also one of the most stable magnets if they are handled properly.
