Mu Core Metal

Core maximum outside diameter is 35 5 900mm.

Mu core metal. However cores may be supplied up to 47 25 1200mm diameter with reduced magnetic performance subject to a minimum build up limitation of 5 of the diameter. Kool mu shapes e cores toroids u cores eq cores lp cores eer cores and blocks are available in various sizes. It also has very low coercive force hc very low core losses and a low remanence br. Mu metal is a nickel iron soft ferromagnetic alloy with very high permeability which is used for shielding sensitive electronic equipment against static or low frequency magnetic fields it has several compositions.

More recently mu metal is considered to be astm a753 alloy 4 and is. These shapes compare favorably with gapped ferrites powdered iron and silicon steel cores. In addition for very large core requirements these large shapes can be configured and bonded for a number of custom. Mumetal chemical composition in weight nickel ni 80 82 molybdenum mo 3 5 6.

Mu metal offers exceptionally high initial and maximum permeability with minimum hysteresis loss. One such composition is approximately 77 nickel 16 iron 5 copper and 2 chromium or molybdenum. Where cores are required with greater height they can be supplied in two or more.
