Alnico magnet
Alnico magnet
(OP)
Hi everybody.
I have a customer who used an old alnico magnets in pickup for guita. he told us the magnetic property is about Br:12.85KGs, Hc:767Oe, BH(max): 5.9MGOe, while he required the gauss value of cylinder magnet D5x17mm, with 1150Gs.
My question is :
1. Is this possible? Because according to our calculating, this magnetic property will result in 1500Gs.
2. Can we use regular alnico 5 (LNG40) as replacement because LNG40 will generate this 1150Gs.
3. for Pickup, whether the gauss value is the most important factor? if we can garantee teh gauss vlue, it will not influnce the performance of pickup whether we will use high Hc grade magnet or regular magnets.
Thanks in advance for your kind suggestion.

How old is it? It might be an Fe Cr Co 5 material. though I doubt it.

A good Alnico 5 should be able to get this.
