Standard mu metal (without coating) is available in foil and sheet to the following thickness's 0.050mm 0.100mm 0.127mm 0.200mm 0.250mm 0.350mm 0.500mm 0.800mm 1.000mm 1.500mm 2.000mm 2.500mm 3.000mm 5.000mm * Coated material can be available in other thickness's depending on quantity required, usually up to a maximum thickness of about 0.5mm. Thank you for your e mail

We are looking to create a highly permeable magnetic flux core (not a shield) using thin laminations of electrically insulated mumetal. The stack of laminated sheets or foil would be completed in a manner identical to that used for electrical steel, but we are looking at frequencies in the range of 5 kHz to possibly as high as 50 kHz. We need high permeability with low losses. Thank you in advance. Where might we obtain samples for testing? What are the standard thicknesses for sheet and foil stock?
