Sahil Metals is located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and is known for the quality production of materials. Exceptional performance and reliability feature the industries that require advanced magnetic shielding solutions. Mu Metal is an effective soft magnetic alloy with very high permeability and low coercivity, suited for applications involving electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and precision instrumentation. Commitment to excellence is the basis of Sahil Metals for providing tailored solutions to meet their clients’ needs.
Mu Metal bar and rod is the name of the high-permeability alloy most commonly used as a magnetic shield. The nominal composition of 77% Ni, 16% Fe, 5% Cu, with small amounts of Molybdenum (Mo) and others, makes the alloy very capable of exhibiting outstanding magnetic permeability. Its tensile strength lies in the region of 550 MPa with yield strength in the region of 250 MPa and 30-40% elongation. Mu Metal also boasts a high electrical resistivity, along with very low coercivity, which contributes to its effectiveness in reducing external magnetic interference.

Yes, Mu Metal bars are recyclable. They are made of a high-purity nickel-iron alloy, which can be melted down and reused in various industrial applications, reducing waste and environmental impact.
Mu Metal bars can be welded, but it is challenging due to their high magnetic permeability and low melting point. Special techniques and care are needed to prevent distortion or loss of properties.
Mu Metal rods are typically available in sizes ranging from 0.125 inches to 4 inches in diameter. Finishes include annealed, cold worked, and polished, depending on the specific requirements.
Mu metal bars and rods find large applications primarily due to excellent magnetic shielding properties. They are mainly used for the protection of sensitive electronic devices against the interference of electromagnetic (EM) and for reducing disturbances in the magnetic field. Among the applications is shielding in transformers, magnetic sensors, medical imagining devices such as MRI machines, and scientific equipment requiring low noise environments. Additionally, Mu Metal bars and rods are used by aerospace and military systems to shield sensitive components. Because of this property of the ability to retain high permeability even in extremely low magnetic fields, these become critical to precision engineering and applications involving magnetic fields and EMI control.
