Permalloy Soft Magnetic Alloy Strip & Bar: Grades 1J22, 1J79, 1J50, 1J85 from Cheng Yuan Alloy
Permalloy Soft Magnetic Alloy Strip & Bar: Grades 1J22, 1J79, 1J50, 1J85 from Cheng Yuan Alloy

Permalloy is a nickel‑iron soft magnetic alloy widely used in transformer cores, magnetic shielding, and precision electromagnetic components. Shijiazhuang Cheng Yuan Alloy Material Co., Ltd supplies Permalloy in strip, bar, sheet, and wire forms across multiple standard grades, including 1J22, 1J79, 1J50, and 1J85.
What Is a Permalloy Soft Magnetic Alloy?
Permalloy is classified as a soft magnetic alloy made of nickel‑iron alloy. It exhibits high initial permeability (10,000–200,000), low coercivity (0.4–8.0 A/m), and saturation magnetic flux density ranging from 0.6 to 2.35 T. These properties make it ideal for applications that require efficient magnetic flux conduction with minimal energy loss, such as signal transformers, EMI shielding enclosures, and high‑frequency inductors.
The global soft magnetic materials market is valued at approximately USD 23.0 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 33.9 billion by 2033 (Grand View Research). The soft magnetic alloy segment alone is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.1% from 2024 to 2030, reaching USD 4.14 billion (QY Research). Asia Pacific holds the largest share, with China as the leading producer.
Key Challenges in Selecting Soft Magnetic Alloys
Engineers and procurement professionals face several challenges when choosing a soft magnetic alloy for transformers, shielding, or motor cores:
- Magnetic performance consistency – variations in permeability and core loss between batches cause signal distortion or overheating.
- Compliance with international standards – alloys must meet ASTM A753 (for high‑permeability materials) or GB/T 15014.
- Dimensional precision – strip thickness tolerance of ±0.002 mm is often required for stacked laminations.
- Reliable supply chain – long lead times disrupt project schedules; OEM/ODM capabilities matter.
