Main technical properties and features
Lamineries MATTHEY SA produces the Alloy SUPRA50®, K94840 Alloy type 2, in precision cold-rolled product
forms (strip and sheet).The different soft magnetic alloys having about 50% of Ni present the maximum saturation
induction level attainable in the Fe-Ni system. The SUPRA50®, K94840 Alloy type 2 (isotropic quality) concern all
the common applications, its typical coercive field value: Hc = 2.8 A/m. The best magnetic properties are obtained
after optimum heat treatment, in compliance with the following standards: ASTM A596 and EN 10252.

Heat treatment of finished parts
The optimum magnetic properties for the Alloy SUPRA50®, K94840 Alloy type 2 is obtained by high temperature
heat treatment on the finished components. The treatment is initially designed to recrystallize the metal. The
treated parts must be handled with care, in order to avoid all plastic deformation which will degrade the magnetic
properties. A protective atmosphere is essential to avoid oxidation. The use of pure dry hydrogen is
recommended. The parts to be treated must be degreased and cleaned before annealing. The inert powder
(alumina or magnesia) often used to avoid direct contact between different parts must be perfectly anhydrous. A
high temperature promotes both coarsening of the primary grains and purification of the metal. The optimum heat
treatment is 4 hours at 1150°C in pure dry hydrogen.
