Hey Folks, I have already asked this elsewhere in the forum, but have not received an answer. How can I identify mu metal?
Are there clear indicators for a layperson without special equipment?

Cheers
 
The only, slightly sad, indicator I have is that if you cut yourself on the material's notoriously nasty edges, there is a very high risk of inflammation - much higher than with just about anything else that can hurt you in the workshop....

Perplexity can't come up with anything better, I think..

Some guitarist with dreadlocks playing a 7 strings, with a bassist with dreadlocks playing (at least) a five strings, a drummer ( with dreadlocks and double kick drum) thinking he is a metal head, and a singer ( with dreadlocks) thinking he is a rapper...

My bad! I didn't read carefully enough... Mu metal, not Nu metal... :)

Sorry for off topic i couldn't resist.

On topic:
Some alloy analyzer exists but i fear they cost an harm and a leg. Maybe trying to generate some nastys and see if metal have some shielding properties?
A single coil guitar pickup with neon light above could work from recent recording i've done of stratocaster...

Trying to drill it? High nickel alloy will destroy the drill bit 99% sure.
