View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.HIPERNIK-V is an alloy of iron and nickel possessing a very high remanence accompanied by a low coercive force. Most applications of this alloy take the form of tape wound cores for use in magnetic amplifiers and saturable reactors. Tape thickness are usually in a range of 0.002 to 0.006 inches. Magnetic property interest centers upon hysteresis loop squareness and differential permeability in the second and third quadrants of the hysteresis loop. Special test methods simulating magnetic amplifier conditions are used to define acceptable material. Lamination applications of this alloy are currently rather limited but semi-oriented grades are available up to 0.014 inch thicknesses.
