How FeCoNiCuAlGa Alloy Powder Enhances Magnetic and Mechanical Performance

Published by HUAXIAO TECH manufacturer

FeCoNiCuAlGa alloy powder is a versatile multi-element material designed to deliver balanced magnetic, mechanical, and corrosion-resistant properties for advanced industrial applications.

Balanced Composition for Multifunctional Performance

This alloy contains iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), and gallium (Ga), creating a unique blend that offers:

• Strong ferromagnetic characteristics ideal for magnetic cores and sensors

• Improved corrosion resistance compared to standard Fe-based alloys

• Enhanced mechanical strength and ductility for structural use

Such combination makes it suitable for electric motors, transformers, and precision mechanical parts.

Excellent Corrosion Resistance and Stability

Al and Ga additions form stable oxide films on the alloy surface, protecting against:

• Oxidation in harsh environments
