Characteristic of Mu-metal is the very high magnetic permeability, which makes the material eminently suitable as shielding against magnetic fields. Mu-metal is a nickel-iron alloy with the remainder copper and molybdenum. The composition depends on the area of application, for example low frequency or high frequency magnetic shielding.
The applications can be found in so-called Zero Gauss chambers or shielding of sensitive sensors and equipment as used in the semiconductor industry, medical and military applications.
Magnetic Shield is a manufacturer of Mu-metal in various qualities and in various dimensions, by shape and by size. This includes sheet material in various thicknesses, as wire for woven cable shielding, foils, tapes but also semi-finished products such as deep-drawn cans for shielding transformers.
Magnetic Shield complies with international standards such as ASTM-A-753 Alloy 4, UNS N14080, DIN IEC 404, DIN 17745 and specific military specifications such as MIL-EN-14411.
