Kanish Metals is a renowned producer and distributor of Mu Metal Rods and Bars, operating out of Dubai, UAE, supplying specialized electromagnetic shielding materials to high-performance electromagnetic industries. Mu Metal is a nickel-iron soft magnetic alloy engineered to provide very high magnetic permeability, making it particularly useful for protecting sensitive devices from electromagnetic interference (EMI). Kanish Metals provides exactingly engineered Mu Metal rods and bars with high international standards of quality and consistency. Backed by dependable service, technical knowledge, and prompt delivery, Kanish Metals caters to industries like electronics, medical, defense, and telecommunications in the UAE and worldwide.
Mu Metal consists mainly of some 77% nickel, 16% iron, 5% copper, and 2% chromium or molybdenum. Its most notable feature is extremely high initial and maximum magnetic permeability and low coercivity. Although not intended for high mechanical strength, it does have a tensile strength of approximately 340 MPa and is highly ductile. Mu Metal needs to be carefully annealed in a hydrogen atmosphere in order to develop the best magnetic properties. This low-temperature magnetic alloy is very effective in low-frequency magnetic shielding applications and is commonly supplied in a range of forms such as bars, rods, sheets, and custom-cut shapes.

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 Rods and Bars are commonly used in applications where effective magnetic shielding is needed to shield sensitive electronics and instruments. Applications include the shielding of transformers, sensors, magnetic field measuring equipment, cathode ray tubes (CRTs), medical imaging devices such as MRI machines, and audio-visual equipment. In defense and aerospace applications, Mu Metal is employed in navigation equipment and satellite parts to provide reliable operation in magnetically active environments. Mu Metal also plays a critical role in laboratory and research settings where precise electromagnetic readings are of utmost importance. Its unparalleled shielding capabilities make it a go-to solution for critical magnetic control.
