Full-Hard Type 2 Iron-Nickel Soft Magnetic Alloy

Full-hard Type 2 magnetic alloy is Type 2 magnetic alloy in the full-hard temper. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare full-hard Type 2 magnetic alloy to: otherwise unclassified iron alloys (top), all iron alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
