Iron/Nickel Alloy Spooled Wire (Fe52/Ni48)

Iron/Nickel Alloy Spooled Wire (Fe52/Ni48) is a magnetic wire offered by Goodfellow within their range of specialty metals. This wire has high permeability and saturation induction, making it useful in applications like solenoid actuators and sensing coils. The nearly equal parts iron and nickel in this alloy provide properties between the two elements - stronger than iron, more ductile than nickel. With high strength and corrosion resistance, this versatile alloy wire can serve well in demanding mechanical, electrical, and chemical conditions.
