    Magnetic Permeability: 1008 vs 1018

    Thank you everyone for the kind replies. They are very helpful. For the physics involved this application, what Ben pointed out is most relevant; we take advantage of the fact that high frequency alternating current flows through the outer layer of the conductive tube, decreasing the skin depth...

    Magnetic Permeability: 1008 vs 1018

    Thanks for your insights on annealing. We develop energy-saving technology for conventional heat exchanging devices and that requires high magnetic permeability of the material. On a side note, while I found most metal suppliers unable to anneal 1008 sheets(for fear of warping the sheet as we...

    Magnetic Permeability: 1008 vs 1018

    Thanks for the reply! We primarily use the material in heat exchanging systems and we want the permeability to be as high as possible. However when I called up the suppliers of 1008 or 1018, most of them don't anneal the material in their production. For those who are familiar with the...

    Magnetic Permeability: 1008 vs 1018

    Thank you so much! I just got a copy of the book Ferromagnetism. After a quick scan, I found the second chapter, Magnetic properties of materials most relevant. I noticed from the graphs that permeability is strongly influenced by carbon content and heat treatment. However the book discusses...

    Magnetic Permeability: 1008 vs 1018

    Hi All, I'm trying to find out the difference in the magnetic permeability between 1008 and 1018. I have been trying to find the BH curves for these materials and also been reading some relevant threads. I understand that cold work and heat treatment play a very important role for such...
