Product catalog summary
Introduction to CRYO-NETIC® Alloy
CRYO-NETIC® is a proprietary cryogenic nickel-iron soft magnetic alloy designed for shielding unwanted magnetic fields at extremely low temperatures, down to 4 Kelvin (liquid helium).
Chemical Composition
The chemical composition of CRYO-NETIC® by weight is 81% Nickel, 5% Molybdenum, and the balance is Iron.
Performance at Cryogenic Temperatures
Unlike MuMetal® and Co-Netic® alloys, which have optimal permeability at higher temperatures and begin to lose effectiveness below -40°C, CRYO-NETIC® maintains high permeability at cryogenic temperatures. At room temperature (293K), MuMetal® has a permeability of 350,000, which drops to 16,000 at 4K. In contrast, CRYO-NETIC® maintains a permeability of 193,000 at room temperature, 174,000 at liquid nitrogen temperature (77K), and 77,000 at liquid helium temperature (4K).
Annealing Process
The annealing process for CRYO-NETIC® involves a specialized pure and dry hydrogen furnace program lasting over 36 hours. The temperature range varies from 392°F (200°C) to 2102°F (1150°C), with a long cooling time to achieve a typical permeability of 70,000 at 4K under an applied field of 0.005 Oe.
Applications
CRYO-NETIC® is commonly used in high energy physics, superconducting RF cavities, cryomodules, outer space applications, and vacuum chambers.

CRYO-NETIC Alloy Data Sheet-1

CRYO-NETIC® is our proprietary cryogenic nickel-iron soft magnetic alloy that is ideal for shielding unwanted magnetic fields at extremely low temperatures down to 4 Kelvin (liquid helium). CRYO-NETIC Chemical Composition (% by weight) Nickel Why do MuMetal and Co-Netic not perform at cryogenic temperatures? Our high permeability MuMetal® and Co-Netic® alloys have an optimal temperature range in which the permeability peaks. The permeability of these alloys begins to drop below -40°C, making it unsuitable in low temperature applications. Permeability change with temperature: Room Temp (293K) Our specialized pure and dry hydrogen furnace program for annealing CRYO-NETIC last for over 36 hours within a varying temperature range of 392°F (200°C) to 2102°F (1150°C) with a long cooling time to achieve a typical permeability of 70,000 at 4K (applied field .005 Oe).
