Radiometal 4550 Soft Magnetic Alloy Rod
and Coil/Strip Now in Stock…
Radiometal 4550 Soft Magnetic Alloy has excellent permeability with high saturation flux density. Applications include sensitive relays that need to respond to very weak currents. Radiometal 4550 is also widely used in transformers, chokes and special motors where the properties of silicon-iron do not provide the required magnetic performance.

Soft magnetic alloys are easily magnetized and demagnetized. They are uniquely suited for specialized applications that require high permeability, low losses, and low residual magnetism. Only several alloy families meet these characteristics. These include certain nickel-irons, silicon-irons, cobalt-irons, ferritic stainless steels, and pure iron. Selection of a particular alloy requires careful consideration.
Typical applications include: EMI shielding, specialty transformer laminations, high quality motor laminations, and electrical generators. They are also selected for use as pole pieces for electromagnets, relays, solenoids, transducers, magnetic bearings, and components in scientific instruments.
