Superior Magnetic Shielding and Interference Protection

By combining 80% nickel with specialized iron purity, this alloy provides an exceptional barrier against stray magnetic fields in high-precision medical and aerospace electronics.

Ingot Manufacturing Process

Ni80Fe20 ingots are produced using Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) to ensure precise composition, purity, and superior soft magnetic performance.

RFQ from Customer

Ni80Fe20 ingots are produced using Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) to ensure precise composition, purity, and superior soft magnetic performance.

Alloy Design/Planning

As per customer requirements, mould design carried out and planned for charge preparation, charge sequences in VIM furnace. Careful selection of raw materials are the prime factor to achieve specified chemistry of an alloy.

Alloy Melting by VIM

Virgin elements are charged into the VIM furnace either in air or under vacuum, with precise adjustments made for trace element additions during melting.

Process & Quality Control

The melt is poured under vacuum into precision-engineered molds using an automatic tilting mechanism for defect-free solidification.

Testing & Packaging

Each ingot undergoes full PMI verification and chemical analysis prior to dispatch for applications like MIM powders, hot/cold rolled strips, or forged components.

Testing & Packaging

Each ingot undergoes rigorous inspection, precision processing, and custom packaging according to the requirements.
