Precision alloys in mechanical engineering: key features and applications

Precision alloys are a special category of metallic materials with specific physical properties. These include high magnetic permeability, stable electrical resistance, minimum thermal expansion coefficient and other characteristics that depend on chemical composition a specific alloy. These unique materials are widely used in various components of machines and mechanisms, playing an important role in improving the accuracy, durability and reliability of equipment.

The main applications of precision alloys in machine parts

Mechanical engineering actively uses precision alloys, especially magnetically soft, in devices that require special magnetic properties. Here are some of the most common applications:

  1. Transformer cores and inductors. Soft magnetic alloys provide high efficiency in the transfer of magnetic flux. This makes it possible to regulate the current in electrical circuits, minimizing losses and increasing productivity.
  2. Electromagnetic relays. The cores made of these alloys enhance the magnetic field, which contributes to the reliable operation of the relay and the stable switching of electrical circuits.
  3. Magnetic screens. Alloys with high magnetic properties are used to shield sensitive electronics, protecting them from the external effects of magnetic fields. This is especially important in equipment that requires accurate and stable operation.
  4. Hall sensors. In such devices, soft magnetic materials are used to measure the strength of the magnetic field, which helps to accurately determine the parameters of motion and positioning of objects.
  5. Magnetic cores in electric motors and generators. Precision alloys make it possible to concentrate magnetic flux, increasing the efficiency of electric motors and generators. This, in turn, improves the performance of the entire system.
  6. Magnetic positioning systems. In such systems, soft magnetic alloy parts are used to accurately determine the position of an object or its movement in space.
  7. Magnetic clutches. These devices ensure contactless transmission of torque between shafts, ensuring reliable and silent operation of the mechanisms.

Precision alloys such as 27KH, 49K2FA-VI, 50N, 50NP, 79NM, 80NM, 81NMA, play an important role in a variety of machines and systems, increasing the accuracy and reliability of operation.

Other types of alloys used in mechanical engineering

In addition to soft magnetic alloys, other metals with special properties are also actively used in mechanical engineering. For example, corrosion-resistant and heat-resistant materials are widely used in parts and structures operating in extreme conditions:

  1. Corrosion resistant alloys (for example, 12X18H9, 12X18H10T, 10X17H13M3T) — are used in Atomic, aerospace and automotive industries, where reliable corrosion protection is a key factor in the durability of equipment.
  2. Heat-resistant and heat-resistant alloys (for example, 20X13, HN78T) — used in aircraft engines, gas turbines and other units where high thermal resistance and mechanical strength are important.

Advantages of using precision alloys in mechanical engineering

Precision alloys offer significant advantages in the design and operation of machines. Here are just a few:

  • High reliability under conditions of extreme temperatures and strong magnetic fields.
  • Accurate operation of the systems due to the low coefficient of thermal expansion and minimal electrical resistance.
  • Long lifespan parts operating under difficult operating conditions.
