Alloy 49 Supplier

Alloy 49 Properties and Appearance

Alloy 49 is a mixture of both nickel and iron. Alloy 49 has the highest saturation flux density of any other nickel alloy, meaning that the state reached when an increase in an external magnetic field cannot increase the magnetization of the material further. Alloy 49 is a nickel-iron alloy that appears dull white and has minimal sheen.

Due to the high saturation flux density, ductility, and versatility of this alloy, it also has magnetic and shielding properties. It is also mildly resistant against weather and moisture corrosion.

Alloy 49 Applications

Alloy 49 is a popular choice in the aerospace and telecommunications industries in magnetic shielding where there are sensitive components. Alloy 49 is also used in transformer cores due to its high saturation flux density. 

Alloy 49 is mildly resistant to weather and moisture corrosion hence why it is used in systems for natural gas, oil and other energy resources as it can tolerate the slightly acidic weather conditions without being damaged. Alloy 49 can be welded by conventional welding techniques.

Alloy 49 belongs in the controlled expansion metal group.
