Mu Metal ®
Mu Metal ® is a very high permeability nickel based alloy that is extremely effective at screening low frequency magnetic interference. There are many different applications but typically it is used in the following sectors; Electronics, Audio, Avionics, Space, Research, Medical, Sensor instrumentation, Automotive, Military & Sea.Additional Info
Typical Magnetic Shielding applications
Applications requiring magnetic shielding are becoming more diverse all the time due mainly to the increasing use of sophisticated sensors and transducers in all types of electronic control systems. In…
Multiple Layer Shields
Whilst mu metal ® is available in many different gauges and indeed a single layer is suitable for most commercial applications, optimal shielding results are obtained when a shield is constructed…
Shielding calculation formula
What is field attenuation? This is also known as the shielding factor (S) and is a ratio of the magnetic field strength outside of the magnetic shield (Ha) and the…
Mumetal is one of a family of three Nickel-Iron alloys
Mumetal ® is one of a family of three Nickel-Iron alloys widely used to produce magnetic parts and shielding. The three alloys concerned have the following approximate compositions and well known…
