Fairly high saturation magnetic induction and permeability Alloy 52 include magnetic reed switches and seals that need controlled linear expansion to approximately 977 °F (525 °C). Alloy 52 is a 50.50% nickel-iron alloy developed for glass-to-metal seals for some of the soft glasses and some ceramics. The alloy's rate of thermal expansion is virtually constant to a temperature of about 1050 °F (565 °C)., Nilo 52 is a Nickel-Iron alloy, belongs to the family of low expansion alloys as it has stable coefficient of thermal expansion up to 1050of. High strength and hardness at the cryogenic temperature limits. It is referred as controlled expansion alloy with low coefficient of thermal expansion in the low and high temperature limits up to 565oC. It is hard and ductile and attains low dispersion. It is used in radar & microwave cavity resonating devices, shadow masks, electric gun modules, glass to metal sealing etc. Cores oi various transiormers .relays.elecuomagnetic clutches and reactors in medium magnetic field.pole shoes .relay components oi earth leakage breakers.gas teliei valves.magnetic shielding.gyroscopes.automatic synchronous motors and minisize motors.etc.
AMS-I-23011A(Instead of MIL-I-23011C) specification has been declared "NONCURRENT" by the Aerospace Materials Division, SAE, as of August, 2007. It is recommended, therefore, that this specification not be specified for new designs. "NONCURRENT" refers to those specifications which have previously been widely used and which may be required for production or processing of existing designs in the future. The Aerospace Materials Division, however, does not recommend these specifications for future use in new designs.This specification covers a series of iron-nickel, iron-nickel-cobalt, and iron-nickel-chromium alloys used for sealing to glasses and ceramics in electronic applications.

Condition and temper: Condition and temper shall be as follows (see Tables IV and V):
Cold processing is not suitable for Allpy 52(UNS N14052) because it disturbs the coefficient of thermal
expansion. Allpy 52(UNS N14052) is annealed at temperature of 850oC to 1000oC.
The properties of processed of Allpy 52(UNS N14052) are shown as following:
Condition | Tensile Strength | Approx. service temperature | ||
Annealed | 450 – 550 N/mm2 | 65 - 80 ksi | up to 450 oC | up to 840 oF |
