Precision alloy wire from Changzhou DLX Alloy Co., Ltd. covers three essential functional material families — soft magnetic alloys, expansion alloys, and elastic alloys — each engineered for applications where conventional metals cannot deliver the required physical properties. Whether you need ultra-high magnetic permeability for sensitive transformer cores, precisely matched thermal expansion for hermetic glass-to-metal seals, or exceptional elastic stability for precision instrument springs, our 10-grade precision alloy wire is manufactured through controlled melting, multi-pass cold drawing, and optimized heat treatment to deliver the magnetic, thermal, and mechanical properties your design demands. Full EN 10204 3.1 MTC traceability on every spool.

Soft magnetic grades (1J79, 1J33, 3J01) require final hydrogen or vacuum annealing after winding or forming to develop full magnetic properties. Typical annealing: 1100–1200°C in dry hydrogen or vacuum, slow cool. Our technical team can provide specific parameters for your component geometry and target permeability.
4J29 (Kovar) for borosilicate hard glass (Pyrex-type). 4J45 or FeNi50 for soft soda-lime glass. 4J33 for alumina ceramic seals. The critical factor is matching thermal expansion curves through the glass setting temperature range. Provide your glass or ceramic type and we confirm the optimal grade.
Yes. Invar36 wire can be supplied with thermal expansion coefficient measurement data over your specified temperature range. Our standard certification includes EN 10204 3.1 MTC chemical analysis; expansion coefficient certification is available on request.
Trial quantities are supported for all precision alloy grades and diameters. We encourage first-time buyers to validate magnetic, expansion, or elastic performance in their specific component before committing to production volumes.
Yes. 3J9 elastic alloy wire is available for precision elastic components requiring high elastic limit, excellent fatigue resistance, and low internal friction. Typical applications: pressure sensor capsules, bellows, tuning fork resonators, and precision instrument springs. Specify your required diameter and delivery condition.
