Sandvik’s new wire, Safeni 52, has a new level of feedability that contributes to higher throughput with less downtime and material characteristics that are for manufacturers of reed switches seeking well-engineered wire with good feedability and no supply chain issues.
Safeni 52 is a soft magnetic iron-nickel alloy with high magnetic permeability, low coercive force, and a low content of non-metallic inclusions. Its thermal expansion is compatible with glass used in reed switches.
Using Safeni 52 wire, reed switch manufacturers can rely on consistently high surface quality, which contributes to the wires excellent feedability. It runs through equipment cleanly, contributing to higher production throughput with increased uptime as well as high end-product quality and reliability.
Packaging is designed to reduce tangled pails and the wire exhibits remarkable straightness with little cast or helix. Together these benefits give manufacturers switching to Safeni 52 wire the potential to take on more business without capital investment. Reed switches incorporating Safeni 52 have a very consistent level of reliability and long operational lifetimes, which will contribute to a high yield with very good quality.
Pure Sandvik
Safeni 52 wire is produced entirely in-house by Sandvik. The company controls the entire process, from alloy melting and wire drawing through to packaging, and, thus, the quality and reliability of the product. Before leaving the plant, the wire is rigorously tested.
In addition, Sandviks close proximity to customers worldwide ensures a robust and reliable material supply chain. Safeni 52 wire is available in a wide variety of forms and diameters.
