The standard ISI transducer diaphragm is machined out of a single piece of type 15-5PH stainless steel, heat treated and then Armoloy coated. This material gives ISI transducers the traverse strength and toughness needed for most standard applications.

There are, however, certain extrusion processes that require different types of diaphragm materials and/or coatings. ISI is able to supply customers with a diaphragm and coatings specifically suited to their needs and applications.
