Properties of the Nickel based alloy are high permeability, low coercivity and high saturation magnetization. Molybdenum (Mo) was found to have a strong effect on the crystallization behavior. With the addition of molybdenum to nickel-iron (NiFe) alloys, it exhibit high relative permeability and low eddy current losses. The addition of molybdenum cannot exceed a certain weight ratio for optimum behavior properties. NiFeMo has already been playing its role in the gas turbine engines in aircraft, marine, industrial and vehicular gas turbines. Now, researches are being carried out to optimize the properties for this alloy to be applied to other high industrial application such as space vehicles, rocket engines, experimental aircraft, nuclear reactors, and other hightemperature applications. The effects of molybdenum addition to the microstructure of NiFeMo alloy are investigated in this study. The maximum weight ratio for Mo is set at 5%. Samples consisting of 30Ni-70Fe, 30Ni-69Fe-lMo, 30Ni-67Fe-3Mo, and 30Ni- 65Fe-l wt% are made. This experiment involved synthesizing intermetallic in mechanical alloying, compacting the milled powders into pellet by isostatic pressing, and annealing in a furnace.
