4J43 soft magnetic alloy wire plays an important role in the world of precision electronics. With around 43% nickel, it achieves a balance that engineers appreciate—high magnetic permeability without compromising mechanical strength. At DLX, we’ve been producing and refining this alloy for years, supplying it to factories that build sensors, relays, miniature magnetic components, aerospace systems, and industrial control equipment.
What makes 4J43 stand out is its responsiveness to weak magnetic fields. Devices that require stable measurement signals—like micro-transformers, magnetic heads, and precision electromagnetic components—depend on materials that behave predictably under varying loads and temperatures. 4J43 fits this requirement perfectly.
We typically produce the wire in sizes from 0.03 mm to 3 mm, depending on the customer’s design. Whether it’s for fine coils or structural magnetic elements, the alloy maintains its integrity through processing, drawing, annealing, and final forming.

From a material science perspective, 4J43 offers a versatile magnetic profile:
High initial and maximum permeability
Very low coercivity
Low hysteresis loss
Good formability
Stable magnetic properties across a wide temperature range
Stronger mechanical performance than high-nickel alloys
These characteristics allow it to serve in both magnetic and structural roles. For magnetic applications, its ability to respond quickly to weak fields makes it excellent for amplification or sensing. For structural uses, its balanced strength ensures stability during assembly and long-term operation.
DLX’s production line focuses heavily on controlling purity and grain structure. With vacuum melting, precise drawing dies, and multiple annealing options (bright, vacuum, stress relief), we provide 4J43 in exactly the condition the final device requires.

We’ve seen firsthand how even small inconsistencies can affect magnetic devices. Because of that, DLX has developed strict process controls—from melting to finishing—that ensure stable and predictable magnetic performance.
Company Comparison from Our Perspective
While there are several suppliers of soft magnetic alloys globally, DLX’s approach is deeply application-oriented. Instead of simply supplying generic 4J43 wire, we evaluate how the customer intends to use it:
Will the wire be wound into micro coils?
Will it undergo welding or high-temperature joining?
Does the sensor require extremely low coercivity?
Is the application sensitive to stress-induced magnetic changes?
By understanding these factors early, we optimize the material condition. For example, we can provide the wire in a soft-annealed state for coil winding or in a harder state for structural components. This application-driven mindset reduces problems during mass production and improves the final device’s reliability.
Our long-term customers value consistency above all else, and that’s precisely where we excel. DLX’s 4J43 wire behaves the same from order to order, giving manufacturers the confidence to scale their operations without worrying about performance drift.
