More recently mu metal is considered to be astm a753 alloy 4 and is.
Mu core metal.
Core maximum outside diameter is 35 5 900mm.
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.
In addition for very large core requirements these large shapes can be configured and bonded for a number of custom.

Mu metal offers exceptionally high initial and maximum permeability with minimum hysteresis loss.
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.
