The magnetic properties, microstructure, and reversible temperature coefficient of magnetic flux of Alnico 8 alloys with the different Co and Ti have been investigated in this paper. The Alnico alloys containing 34, 36, 38, and 40 mass percent cobalt were fabricated by the conventional casting method including thermomagnetic treatment. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) testing shows that there are more α1 phases particles with the diameter of less than 10 nm appearing in the matrix with the increasing of the content of Co and Ti. The thermal stability of Alnico 8 alloys deteriorates with the increasing of the content of Co and Ti, which are caused mainly by the decrease of the degree of particle alignment and particle perfection.
