It is necessary to add S as an alloy component. However, S

Ni: An alloying element necessary to provide the thermal expansion coefficient required for use in lead frames, sealing materials, etc. In order to obtain materials with a low thermal expansion coefficient, it is necessary to add 30 to 55% by weight. is necessary. Furthermore, if the Ni content exceeds 55% by weight, not only does the cost of the alloy increase, but also the saturation magnetic flux density and maximum magnetic permeability tend to decrease. Conversely, if the Ni content is less than 30% by weight, the required saturation magnetic flux density cannot be obtained. From such a thing,
In the present invention, the Ni content is set in the range of 30 to 55% by weight.

[0014] Ca: Ni-Fe alloy and Ni-Cr-
It is the most important alloy component in improving the punchability of Fe-based alloys. The reason why the punchability is improved by adding Ca is presumed to be that the toughness of the matrix decreases due to uniform solid solution of Ca in the matrix. That is, it is inferred that the addition of Ca makes the material brittle, so that plastic flow near the fracture surface when punching fractures are generated hardly occurs, and the generation of burrs is suppressed. It was experimentally confirmed that in order to obtain such an effect, a Ca content of 0.0020% by weight or more is required, as shown in FIG. However, the Ca content is 0
.. When it exceeds 0.500% by weight, the effect on punching property becomes saturated and hot workability deteriorates. Therefore, C
The a content was set in the range of 0.0020 to 0.0500% by weight.

S: An unavoidable impurity that cannot be completely removed by scouring. However, S is 0.0030
When it is contained in an amount of % by weight or more, Mn, S-based inclusions are likely to be formed in the alloy structure. Although these inclusions improve punching properties when adjusting their dispersion form, they degrade hot workability and magnetic properties as described above. Therefore, in the present invention, the S content is specified to be less than 0.0030% by weight so that Mn,S-based inclusions are not substantially generated.
