Overview
Alnico and related permanent magnet alloys built on aluminium, nickel, cobalt and iron for stable magnetic performance.
IMS handles magnet alloys as both prime material and as arisings recovered from industrial processing. Material is sorted and segregated by grade, so it returns to the melt as a known specification rather than a mixed stream.
