What is Mumetal®?
Pronounced “mew metal”, Mumetal® is a trade name for one of several high permeability magnetic shielding materials. It is made up of about 80% nickel. Often times Mumetal is used as a generic word to designate a high permeability alloy. Depending upon the mix, the remainder of the materials include iron, molybdenum or chromium, and copper. Other trade names include Permalloy®, HyMu-80®, Hipernom®, Magnifer 7904®, Magnifer 75®, and Mumetal 2®. MuShield works with all of these products and will help you to determine which is the most appropriate material for your application.
Mumetal®, CO-NETIC AA and other shielding alloys, offer important electromagnetic field shielding characteristics, including very high magnetic permeability – its ability to absorb magnetic energy. The unique properties of this family of alloys results in the highest possible attenuation, making these shielding alloys the materials of choice for reducing low-frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI).
