These Nickel-Chromium-Iron Magnetic Alloys offer high strength and good ductility. They have the ability for work hardening and strengthening. These alloys possesses good resistance to extremely corrosive environments at elevated temperatures, and oxidation resistance sustained up to 1200 degree Celsius.

Alloy 50 is a soft magnetic nickel-iron alloy with approximately 48% Nickel, and 52% Iron. Given an appropriate thermal treatment, this material is capable of a high permeability. Typical applications include transformer laminations, magnetic shields and relay parts.

Alloy 75 is a soft magnetic alloy with approximately 80% Nickel, 5% Copper, 2% Chromium, and 15% Iron. Given an appropriate thermal treatment, this material is capable of a high permeability. Typical applications include transformer laminations and magnetic shields.

Alloy 79 is a soft magnetic alloy with approximately 80% Nickel, 5% Molybdenum, 15% Iron. Given an appropriate thermal treatment, this material is capable of a high permeability. Typical applications include transformer laminations and magnetic shields.
