Dhruv Metals is a reputable manufacturer and supplier based in Hyderabad, India, known for its top-notch Mu Metal Bars and Rods, specifically designed for precision magnetic shielding applications. With cutting-edge production capabilities and rigorous quality control measures, Dhruv Metals guarantees that its Mu Metal products adhere to international performance and consistency standards. These bars and rods are celebrated for their outstanding magnetic permeability, making them essential in sensitive electronic and electromagnetic environments. Dhruv Metals offers both standard and tailored Mu Metal solutions to satisfy the stringent demands of industries such as electronics, defense, medical, aerospace, and instrumentation.
The composition of Mu Metal Bars and Rods primarily includes about 77–80% nickel, 4–5% molybdenum, and 12–15% iron, along with trace amounts of copper and other elements. This high-nickel alloy is known for its remarkable magnetic permeability and low coercivity. In terms of mechanical properties, it boasts moderate tensile strength (around 300–600 MPa), excellent ductility, and good formability. While it may be relatively soft in its annealed state, Mu Metal becomes highly effective at shielding low-frequency magnetic fields after undergoing heat treatment. Its distinctive composition makes it perfect for precision applications that require minimal magnetic interference and maximum shielding efficiency.
