Commodity: Alloys Material: Iron/Nickel Form: Foil (Light Tight) Composition: Fe 52/Ni 48 Temper: Annealed Thickness: 0.75mm Opacity: Light Tight
Iron Nickel Alloy Foil Light Tight (Fe52/Ni48) delivers controlled thermal expansion, excellent dimensional stability, and high strength in a finely rolled foil that is engineered to block all external light transmissions without pinhole leakage. The nearly equal iron–nickel ratio ensures low expansion coefficients, making it indispensable in precision optical and electronic assemblies. Industries such as aerospace, defense, and photonics employ this material in optical housings, high-vacuum systems, and sensor shielding where total light exclusion is critical. Specific applications include mask carriers for lithography, protective light barriers in sensitive detectors, and structural mounts requiring strict dimensional control under heat cycling. Research applications extend to photonic isolation, thin-film deposition studies, and evaluation of light-blocking materials under thermal stress. Its precise foil form with uniform thickness and surface finish enables reliable integration into high-precision assemblies, reinforcing its importance as both a structural and functional barrier in advanced scientific and industrial systems.
