Unlocking the Power of DOMADIA™ FeNi80Mo5 (UNS N14080): The Ultimate Solution for Low-Frequency Magnetic Shielding
There are moments in high-precision industries when even the slightest magnetic disturbance can bring an entire operation to a halt.
A misaligned reading in an MRI room, a fluctuating sensor in an aerospace test unit, or an unexpected EMI spike in a semiconductor line—these real-world disruptions cost time, money, and trust. That’s where DOMADIA™ FeNi80Mo5 (UNS N14080) quietly steps in—yet its impact is anything but quiet.
This alloy has become the gold standard for ultra-sensitive, low-frequency magnetic shielding, delivering stability, repeatability, and unmatched performance across demanding global industries.
What is DOMADIA™ FeNi80Mo5 (UNS N14080)?
DOMADIA™ FeNi80Mo5 is a high-permeability soft magnetic nickel-iron alloy, engineered specifically to attenuate low-frequency magnetic fields.
It is known globally as:
| Alloy Name | UNS Number | ASTM Standard | Other Standards |
| DOMADIA™ FeNi80Mo5 | N14080 | ASTM A753 Alloy 4 | MIL-N-14411C, DIN 17405, IEC 404, JIS C2531 |
This alloy is widely referred to as MuMetal—yet DOMADIA™ elevates it with advanced processing, tight quality control, and precision engineering.
It is also used alongside Permimphy, Cryophy, Copper, Brass, and Aluminum, depending on the desired shielding configuration.
Chemical Composition
| Element | Percentage (%) |
| Nickel (Ni) | ~80% |
| Iron (Fe) | Balance |
| Molybdenum (Mo) | ~5% |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤ 1% |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤ 0.5% |
| Carbon (C) | ≤ 0.03% |
This composition enables very high initial and maximum magnetic permeability, essential for low-frequency EMI attenuation.
