\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\"817FGl5ziXL\"<\/a>\u00a0Nickel Iron 52: Glass Sealing<\/span><\/h2>\n

As we know, wire is used in almost every industry, yet the applications for the material always change. This week, we will discuss alloy 52, a nickel iron material that finds it’s niche within the electrical applications. Nickel Iron 52 is a soft magnetic alloy that is\u00a0perfect for use in electronics.<\/p>\n

Containing an extremely high and consistent surface quality, high magnetic permeability, low coercive force, and low content of metallurgical imperfections, Nickel Iron\u00a052 is ideal for it’s most common application: glass-to-metal seals.<\/span><\/strong> Glass-to-metal seals are an extremely important element of the construction of electronic components. The alloy used to create this seal must be capable of reacting with the glass to form a completely sealed bond. The alloy Nickel Iron 52 has the exact properties needed to manufacture this tight of a seal.<\/p>\n

Below you will find the specific metallurgical properties of this alloy.<\/p>\n
