ALLIEDPUREIRON®
ALLIEDPUREIRON® (~99.9% iron) is Allied Metals’ cost-effective solution for your most critical applications. High maximum flux density, high permeability, and low coercivity make ALLIEDPUREIRON® the optimal material for manufacturing of sophisticated technologies. Some applications include particle accelerator and commercial electromagnets, components of electrical devices, and various types of magnetic shielding. Pure Iron powder is used in a variety of applications such as additive manufacturing, metal injection molding, and chemical manufacturing.
There are specific requirements placed on the raw materials used in all applications. We have the capability to provide material to each of your individual magnetic, chemical, and mechanical specifications.
ALLIEDPUREIRON® products can also be supplied per the requirements of:
ASTM A848 – Standard Specification for Low-Carbon Magnetic Iron
ASTM A1126 – Standard Specification for Magnetic Pure Iron
