Tony:
I have a call in to Carpenter Steel and will know shortly what is available and when. Carpenter's vast selection of "magnetic or electrical steels" should yield positive results.
Thanks again,
MMPD
Tony:
I have been looking at the Carpenter "magnetic steels" including Carpenter Electricla Iron. Your suggestion of Carpenter Silicon Core Iron B-FM is right in line with Carpenters information as listed on the Carpenter web site. Bar form is fine; my OD requierements are <.750".
Thanks,
MMPD
Requirements:
High permeability, high flux density, high resistivity, good strength, and good machining characteristics. Cost is not a real concern since the housing OD is under one inch.
Looking for the best material with the best magnetic properties as described above.
Thanks,
MMPD
I assume your suggestions the best materials are low carbon steel followed by an annealing process. The forces during operation are rather high for this type of micro- motor.
Thank you Tony & Ed for your response!

Looking for the best iron to use in a high performance miniature DC motor application for actuation purposes. The magnetic core or magnets are SmCo 3mm thick x 12mm long x 15mm tall "arc segments".
The housing can be stamped or machined from billet.
Thanks,
MMPD.
