Starc Metals stands out as a reliable manufacturer and supplier of Permalloy Bars and Rods right here in Canberra, Australia. We take pride in delivering top-notch nickel-iron alloy products that are crafted for outstanding magnetic performance. Our Permalloy bars and rods are well-known for their impressive magnetic permeability, low coercive force, and minimal core losses, making them perfect for a variety of electromagnetic and electronic applications. At Starc Metals, we focus on precise composition control, exceptional surface finish, and consistent magnetic properties, ensuring our materials meet the high standards of the electrical, telecommunications, and instrumentation industries where magnetic sensitivity and performance are key.
Typically, the composition of our Permalloy Bars and Rods consists of about 80% nickel and 20% iron, with slight variations based on specific grades and the desired magnetic traits. This blend results in high initial and maximum permeability, low hysteresis loss, and remarkable magnetic softness. On the mechanical side, Permalloy offers moderate tensile strength (around 400–600 MPa) and good ductility, making it easy to fabricate and machine. Its stability under different magnetic and temperature conditions makes it an excellent choice for precision magnetic applications that demand consistent and reliable performance.

Permalloy bars are generally not highly susceptible to galvanic corrosion, as they have good resistance to corrosion. However, when in contact with dissimilar metals, galvanic corrosion may still occur under certain conditions.
Yes, Permalloy bars can be welded, but due to their high nickel content, specialized welding techniques, such as TIG or laser welding, and proper precautions are necessary to maintain magnetic properties.
Permalloy rods are available in various sizes, typically ranging from 1/16" to 4" in diameter. Common finishes include bright, polished, or cold-drawn finishes, depending on the application requirements.
You’ll find Permalloy Bars and Rods widely used in transformer cores, magnetic shielding, inductors, sensors, and various electrical components where magnetic efficiency is crucial. They also play a vital role in aerospace, defense, and scientific instrumentation for managing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and magnetic fields. In the electronics sector, Permalloy is utilized in memory storage devices, microphones, and magnetic amplifiers. Thanks to its superior permeability and low magnetic loss, it’s the go-to material for applications that require precise control of magnetic flux and minimal energy dissipation.
