I have purchased a small quantity of Hiperco 50A from scientific alloys. They do not perform the ASTM standard dry hydrogen anneal on the hiperco, and since the cost of anneal is extremely expensive, I've decided use it as is. I had spoke with Bob Rossi from scientific alloys for about an hour and he mentioned that quite a few of his customers also decide not to perform the ASTM test either, and have reported that they are getting within 80% of the rated magnetic properties of this material.
Does anyone have experience in using this material as-is? It was sent to me in the hot rolled condition.
I have provided a link to the Carpenter website from where Scientific Alloys originally purchased their material:
For my application I need soft magnetic materials with a very high Bsat value. Bob Rossi also threw in a sample of commercially pure iron as well, since I want to compare the properties of the unannealed permendur vs the pure iron. If it happens that the unnannealed permendur is only as good as pure iron, I'll probably stick with the pure iron.
