Mu-metal wire

[kvintus]

Hi all!

Does anyone know where I could find mu-metal wire. Metal sheets can be found just about anywhere but I haven't seen anyone selling wire. I need a couple of metres of about 0,1 mm dia. wire for a project. Preferably in Europe but other parts of the world are ok too.

Thanks for your help!

That's obscure. Find the folks who were making mu-metal interconnects for highend stuff some years back--they have probably got a roll in their garage. Wish I could remember their name.

Here's one of the probable charlatans:

A trifling 650 US the pair. Wonder what Lindsay's doctorate is in.

In Brazil all I can get in mumetal is mumetal wire. I really don´t know what´s it used for. I think I get get some mumetal tape also, but I don´t know if it would be usefull for audio shielding...

Rafa, do you what the price would be for a roll of 0,1mm wire?

And I know what it can be used for, but I won't tell you yet! :green:

Hey!! Speak or nobody here will help you to get the wire :twisted:

It's a non-audio related really crazy project that one of my friends told me about. Really compliacted, electromagnetism and quantum physics and stuff. I'm not the brain behind it. It will probably turn into a fiasco and if I don't tell anyone I won't have to feel stupid for getting excited about it. If the theory does work I promise that you will be the first to know.

That's exactly what I was thinking! Please don't tell anyone. It's supposed to be a surprise. I'll come riding on a green flying llama to tampere.

In the 1940 transatlantical cable.
It is difficult to pupinize it and then Krarup method was applied
to make transmission loss lower. It is thin wire which is hellically
wired onto each wire of the cable pair.

But I mean, that kilometers of this cable was stolen trough world war
2 - nd by german submarines and kilos of Krupp Essen Hyperm was
produced from it.... :-( :-( for you.

You mean my Telefunken transformers are made from Sowter mu wire and Indonesian cobalt? sheesh.

Here is a cool pdf on transformer lamination material history that every x-former geek should have a copy of:

It has been added to the transformer meta.

I am too young and not studied at the Essen,
but my teacher is older and say something about.

Someone here can know more...

by the way, thanx many for Sowter paper
