Alnico alloys are ferromagnetic with high magnetic flux density, resistance to corrosion and excellent temperature stability, while relatively small resistance against demagnetization. Some grades of alnico are isotropic and can be efficiently magnetized in any direction. Other types, such as Alnico 5 and Alnico 8, are anisotropic, with each having a preferred direction of magnetization, or orientation. Anisotropic alloys generally have greater magnetic capacity in a preferred orientation than isotropic types. Alnico alloys have some of the highest Curie temperatures 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). Alnico magnets are electrically conductive, unlike ceramic magnets.
