Mu metal offers exceptionally high initial and maximum permeability with minimum hysteresis loss.
Mu core metal.
It also has very low coercive force hc very low core losses and a low remanence br.
Available as stress annealed soft annealed for ease of fabrication or final annealed for maximum permeability.
Core maximum outside diameter is 35 5 900mm.
These shapes compare favorably with gapped ferrites powdered iron and silicon steel cores.
One such composition is approximately 77 nickel 16 iron 5 copper and 2 chromium or molybdenum.
In addition for very large core requirements these large shapes can be configured and bonded for a number of custom.
