Alnico is the first developed permanent magnet material. It is an alloy composed of aluminum, nickel, cobalt, iron and other trace metal elements. Alnico permanent magnet material was successfully developed in the 1930s. At that time, it had the best magnetic performance and small temperature coefficient, so it was most widely used in permanent magnet motors.
