Soft magnetic alloys are a class of alloys with high permeability and low coercivity in weak magnetic fields. These alloys are widely used in the radio electronics industry, precision instruments, remote control and automatic control systems.
Iron-nickel alloys are iron-nickel alloys with a nickel content of 30% to 90%, often called permalloys. Within this composition range, by adding an appropriate amount of alloying elements and adopting appropriate processes, soft magnetic alloys with different magnetic properties such as high magnetic permeability, constant magnetic permeability, and constant-torque magnetism can be obtained. Permalloy has high plasticity and can be cold rolled into ultra-thin strips of 1 μm. It is a type of soft magnetic alloy that is widely used. It can be used as iron core and magnetic shielding in weak magnetic field, pulse transformer and inductor core with low remanence and constant magnetic permeability, high squareness ratio alloy, thermomagnetic compensation alloy and magnetostrictive alloy, etc. . The disadvantage is that the price is high, and the loss is large when used in the ultra-high frequency magnetic field. Popular products are
Hyperm52, Permalloy, Supermalloy
