The composition sits at a deliberate compromise point in the nickel-iron system: nickel content high enough to keep the alloy FCC, ductile, and magnetically soft, but low enough to preserve the high saturation induction that falls off steeply as nickel rises toward the 78-80 percent of molybdenum permalloy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In powder form, the alloy&#8217;s benefits for engineering programs include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Balanced magnetic profile.<\/strong> Saturation induction near 1.5-1.6 T with permeability in the thousands makes the alloy the permalloy of choice when both flux-carrying capacity and low magnetizing current matter, as in transformer and relay cores.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Low core loss at power frequencies.<\/strong> Hysteresis loss is low thanks to small coercivity, and the alloy&#8217;s resistivity, roughly twice that of pure iron, limits eddy loss in solid and powder-consolidated cores at 50-400 Hz.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Good ductility and processability.<\/strong> The single-phase FCC structure prints, molds, and sinters without cracking, and consolidated parts machine and stamp readily before final annealing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Square-loop availability.<\/strong> With appropriate annealing practice, the alloy develops a square hysteresis loop that suits magnetic amplifiers, bistable relays, and switching cores.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Powder-route design freedom.<\/strong> Additive manufacturing and MIM produce integrated magnetic circuits, shaped pole pieces, and miniaturized cores that laminated sheet cannot form economically at complex geometry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The designation varies by market: the same alloy appears as Hipernik and Alloy 4750 in Western registers, 1J50 in Chinese standards, and 50H or 50N in Russian and European documents.

At 50 percent, the alloy sits below the anisotropy-zero point near 78 percent nickel, so it does not chase ultimate permeability; instead it keeps the higher magnetization of the iron-rich compositions while remaining fully austenitic and soft. Each half-percent of nickel shift moves both saturation and permeability measurably, so premium lots are melted to +\/- 0.3 percent nickel tolerance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For powder buyers, carbon and oxygen are the certification figures that matter beyond the headline chemistry. Both pin domain walls and raise coercivity in the consolidated part, and magnetic-critical programs should specify incoming oxygen at or below 300 ppm with carbon below 0.03 percent, verified lot by lot on the certificate of analysis rather than assumed from grade names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A practical specification structure for this alloy fixes four numbers: the nickel range, oxygen, carbon, and the PSD targets, and references the balance of the window to the governing national standard. This keeps procurement documents short, directly auditable, and tied to the parameters that actually move magnetic performance, which matters more in permalloy procurement than in structural alloy procurement because the functional penalty for off-spec interstitials is immediate and large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Propri\u00e9t\u00e9s physiques et m\u00e9caniques \u00e0 la temp\u00e9rature d'essai standard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The data below reflect fully annealed reference material at standard test temperature (23 +\/- 5 C), with powder-consolidated values depending on densification and annealing practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Propri\u00e9t\u00e9s principales<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Propri\u00e9t\u00e9<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Valeur<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Unit\u00e9<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Densit\u00e9<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">8.2<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">g\/cm3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Plage de fusion<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1425-1450<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">C<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Conductivit\u00e9 thermique (RT)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">18-22<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">W\/m\u00b7K<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Coefficient de dilatation thermique<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">9-10 x 10-6<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">\/K<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">R\u00e9sistivit\u00e9 \u00e9lectrique<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">0.40-0.45<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">uOhm.m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Temp\u00e9rature de Curie<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">~500<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">C<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Induction de la saturation<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1.5-1.6<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">T<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Initial Permeability<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">5,000-10,000<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">\u2013<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Maximum Permeability<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">50,000-100,000<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">\u2013<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Coercivity (annealed)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">5-20<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">A\/m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Limite d'\u00e9lasticit\u00e9 (recuit)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">180-280<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">MPa<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Tensile Strength (annealed)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">480-580<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">MPa<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Elongation (annealed)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">25-35<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Duret\u00e9 (recuit)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">120-160<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">HV<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The magnetic data carry the usual qualification: they are post-anneal figures. A full softening anneal at 1050-1200 C in pure dry hydrogen, followed by controlled cooling, develops the permeability and coercivity quoted, while as-printed or as-sintered material delivers a fraction of these values. The anneal is therefore part of the manufacturing route, and any cost comparison of processing routes should include it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The square-loop capability deserves mention for designers of magnetic amplifiers and latching relays: annealing in a longitudinal magnetic field or with specific cooling practice aligns the domain structure and raises the remanence ratio toward 0.9, converting the same chemistry into a switching material. Mechanically, the alloy is soft and ductile, which favors MIM feedstock and powder-core pressing, and its Curie point near 500 C gives a wider thermal margin than high-nickel permalloys for components that run warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stress sensitivity is the property most often underestimated in application. The alloy&#8217;s magnetostriction is small but not zero, and clamping, press-fitting, or winding tension applied after the final anneal measurably degrades permeability and raises core loss. Good design practice therefore completes all mechanical operations before the final anneal, mounts finished cores with compliant rather than rigid clamping, and treats any post-anneal machining as a process deviation requiring re-annealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Liste des tol\u00e9rances de distribution granulom\u00e9trique et des qualit\u00e9s disponibles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FeNi50 powder is supplied in process-matched fractions with certified size-distribution tolerances, and in an insulated grade for pressed powder cores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Caract\u00e9ristiques techniques disponibles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Param\u00e8tres<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Norme\/Valeur<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Distribution granulom\u00e9trique (LPBF)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">15-45 \u00b5m, 15-53 \u00b5m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Distribution granulom\u00e9trique (MIM)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">0-25 um, D90 &lt;= 25 um<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Particle Size Distribution (powder cores)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">45-150 um (insulated)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Particle Size Distribution (press-sinter)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">0 \u00e0 45 \u00b5m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Sph\u00e9ricit\u00e9<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">&gt;= 0.90 (GA)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Densit\u00e9 apparente<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">&gt;= 4,2 g\/cm\u00b3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Densit\u00e9 du robinet<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">&gt;= 5,0 g\/cm\u00b3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">D\u00e9bit dans le hall<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">&lt;= 18 s\/50 g<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Teneur en oxyg\u00e8ne<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">&lt;= 300 ppm (premium), &lt;= 500 ppm (standard)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Tol\u00e9rance PSD<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Certification D10\/D50\/D90 par lot<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Options de notation<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Standard magnetic grade; high-purity low-O\/C grade; insulated powder-core grade on request<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Magnetic Certification<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Reference-ring permeability and core loss data on request<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Emballage<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Emballage sous vide, rin\u00e7age \u00e0 l'argon, 1 \u00e0 50 kg<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The insulated powder-core grade serves the high-flux powder-core market, where dielectric-coated particles pressed to shape give distributed-gap cores with soft saturation behavior and good DC bias performance.

Printed magnetic circuits consolidate pole pieces, return paths, and mounting features into single components, reducing assembly interfaces in weight-critical avionics and eliminating the stacking tolerances of laminated assemblies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Medical devices.<\/strong> Electromagnetic actuators in infusion and surgical equipment, sensor cores in diagnostic instruments, and telemetry components use MIM-produced alloy elements at medical volumes, with the purity documentation regulated markets require. The alloy&#8217;s higher induction relative to high-nickel permalloys suits the compact actuator designs these devices favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Industrial sensing and instrumentation.<\/strong> Current transformers, residual-current sensors, and proximity elements use the alloy where measurement linearity and adequate permeability matter more than ultimate softness, and where its thermal margin over high-nickel grades supports warmer operating environments such as motor-terminal boxes and switchgear interiors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Automotive electrification.<\/strong> Onboard charger magnetics, DC-DC converter cores, and current-sensing elements in 400- and 800-volt architectures are active qualification areas, with powder cores and MIM parts tested against the automotive temperature and vibration envelope. The alloy&#8217;s thermal margin over high-nickel permalloys is a practical advantage in under-hood and charge-port environments where component temperatures regularly exceed 120 C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across these industries, the adoption pattern is consistent: magnetic characterization of consolidated coupons first, then prototype components measured against the target core-loss and permeability budget, then volume production once lot-level reference-ring data prove stable. Suppliers who provide that magnetic reference data with each lot shorten the qualification cycle meaningfully, because incoming inspection verifies functional quality without consolidating trial parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comparaison avec d'autres nuances et autres options de syst\u00e8mes d'alliages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Selection around FeNi50 typically benchmarks it against high-nickel molybdenum permalloy, against silicon iron, against Sendust for powder cores, and against FeCo alloys for maximum induction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FeNi50 vs Alternative Soft Magnetic Materials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Propri\u00e9t\u00e9<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">FeNi50<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">FeNiMo (Moly Permalloy)<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Silicon Iron (3% Si)<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Sendust (FeSiAl)<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">FeCo50<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Densit\u00e9 (g\/cm\u00b3)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">8.2<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">8.7<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">7.65<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">6.9<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">8.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Saturation Induction (T)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1.5-1.6<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">0.75-0.9<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">2.0<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1.0<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">2.3-2.4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Initial Permeability<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">5,000-10,000<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">50,000-100,000<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">500-2,000<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">20,000-30,000<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1,000-5,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Coercivity (A\/m)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">5-20<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">2-5<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">30-60<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">5-15<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">30-100<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Resistivity (uOhm.m)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">0.40-0.45<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">0.55-0.62<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">0.48<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">0.80<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">0.40<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Curie Temperature (C)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">~500<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">400-460<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">~740<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">~500<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">~950<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Co\u00fbt relatif<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Moyen-\u00e9lev\u00e9<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Haut<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Faible<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Moyen<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Tr\u00e8s \u00e9lev\u00e9<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Against molybdenum permalloy, FeNi50 trades an order of magnitude of permeability for roughly double the saturation induction, so the two split the market into precision-sensing and flux-carrying duty respectively. Against silicon iron, it offers far lower coercivity and better high-frequency behavior at higher cost and lower induction. Against Sendust in powder cores, it carries higher flux density at similar loss, which is why High-Flux cores command their premium in compact inductor designs. Against FeCo alloys, it concedes the absolute induction crown but costs a fraction as much and processes far more forgivingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The selection rule follows the duty: flux-carrying cores and actuators at power frequency favor FeNi50; weak-signal sensing favors molybdenum permalloy; maximum induction favors FeCo; and cost-driven, low-frequency duty still favors silicon iron. It is also worth noting that all five materials in the table are available as qualified powder grades from the same supply base, so mixed programs, such as a FeNi50 core paired with a molybdenum permalloy sensor element, can be sourced with consistent documentation and a single qualification relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Notre entreprise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/am-material.com\/fr\/about\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shanghai Truer Technology Co.<\/a> est un fournisseur chinois sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9 dans la fabrication additive, qui propose \u00e0 la fois des \u00e9quipements de production de poudre PREP et des poudres m\u00e9talliques sph\u00e9riques de haute qualit\u00e9.

Every production lot ships with certified D10, D50, and D90 data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q2 : La poudre FeNi50 peut-elle \u00eatre utilis\u00e9e aussi bien dans les syst\u00e8mes SLM que dans les syst\u00e8mes EBM ?<\/strong> A: Yes. The single-phase FCC alloy prints without cracking on both laser and electron beam platforms, and parameter development is straightforward. A full hydrogen anneal after consolidation is essential regardless of process, since as-built magnetic properties are far below the annealed datasheet figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q3 : Quelles sont les certifications dont b\u00e9n\u00e9ficie la poudre FeNi50 ?<\/strong> A: Standard documentation covers nickel content, the full interstitial window, PSD data, flow rate, and density values per lot. Magnetic-critical programs can add pressed-and-annealed reference-ring data verifying permeability and core loss for the specific production lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q4 : Quelle est la quantit\u00e9 minimale de commande (MOQ) pour la poudre FeNi50 ?<\/strong> A: Development quantities of 1-5 kg are available for LPBF parameter work and core prototyping, which typically covers initial magnetic characterization as well. Production volumes are supplied in 25-50 kg argon-flushed, vacuum-sealed containers, with insulated core grades quoted against annual volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q5: Can the composition of FeNi50 be customized?<\/strong> A: Yes. Nickel content can be positioned within the 49-51 percent window to tune the induction-permeability balance, and small molybdenum or copper additions are available for programs moving toward higher-permeability variants. Custom melts start with trial atomization batches of 20-50 kg before commitment to campaign volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q6 : Quel est le d\u00e9lai de livraison habituel pour les commandes de poudre FeNi50 ?<\/strong> A: Standard grades in stock fractions usually ship within one to two weeks of order confirmation. High-purity and insulated grades typically require four to six weeks including conditioning, coating, and reference testing, with custom chemistries at six to eight weeks.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quick Answer FeNi50 soft magnetic powder is the powder-metallurgy form of 50 percent nickel-iron permalloy, the alloy that occupies the practical middle ground of the Ni-Fe magnetic system: saturation induction of 1.5-1.6 T, roughly double that of high-nickel permalloys, combined with initial permeability of 5,000-10,000 and coercivity of 5-20 A\/m.
