MuMetal Sheet Price: Why One Quote Says ₹3,000 and Another Says ₹25,000

A procurement engineer once called us frustrated.
Two vendors. Same specification on paper. MuMetal sheets.
One quote looked reasonable. The other felt shockingly high.

A month later, the cheaper sheet failed EMI tests.
The expensive one? Passed on day one.

That’s when the real lesson hit—MuMetal pricing isn’t about metal weight. It’s about magnetic performance.

Let’s break down realistic MuMetal sheet price ranges from Indian vendors, what influences those prices, and how to avoid costly mistakes.

MuMetal Sheet Price Range in India

Prices vary by purity, annealing condition, thickness, and certification.

Why MuMetal Sheet Price Varies So Widely

1. Chemical Composition Accuracy

MuMetal (UNS N14080) is not ordinary nickel alloy steel.

Typical composition:

• Nickel (≈ 77%)
• Iron
• Copper
• Molybdenum

Even small deviations in nickel or molybdenum drastically reduce permeability.
Cheaper sheets often dilute nickel content—lower cost, lower shielding.

2. Magnetic Annealing (The Real Cost Driver)

MuMetal only performs after hydrogen annealing under controlled conditions.

• Non-annealed sheet = cheaper, poor shielding
• Properly annealed sheet = higher cost, ultra-high permeability

💡 Many Indian vendors sell “MuMetal-like” sheets without annealing—this alone can cut price by 40%, and performance by 80%.

3. Thickness & Flatness Control

Thinner sheets require:

• Precision rolling
• Stress-free processing
• Surface uniformity

That’s why 0.1 mm sheets often cost more per kg than 1 mm sheets.

4. Certifications & Traceability

Authentic vendors provide:

• UNS N14080 compliance
• Heat number traceability
• Mill test certificates (MTC)

Documentation adds cost—but saves audits, failures, and rework.

Typical Indian Vendor Categories & Pricing Behavior

Low-Cost Traders

• Price: ₹2,500–₹5,000/kg
• Usually unannealed
• No certification
• Suitable only for non-critical DIY or experiments

Mid-Level Suppliers

• Price: ₹6,000–₹12,000/kg
• Partial annealing
• Limited permeability data
• Mixed consistency

Specialty Alloy Suppliers (Like DOMADIA™)

• Price: ₹10,000–₹25,000+/kg
• Fully annealed
• Certified UNS N14080
• Guaranteed magnetic performance

Why Paying More Often Costs Less

Here’s the mindset shift engineers eventually make:

Cheap MuMetal increases system cost.

Failures lead to:

• EMI test rejections
• Redesigns
• Downtime
• Reputation damage

High-quality MuMetal lasts longer, shields better, and needs replacement far less often—reducing scrap, recycling, and environmental load.

That’s not just economics.
That’s responsible engineering.

DOMADIA™ Perspective on MuMetal Sheet Pricing

DOMADIA™ supplies authentic MuMetal sheets (UNS N14080) engineered for real shielding performance, not just datasheet claims.

✔ Controlled chemical composition
✔ Proper magnetic annealing guidance
✔ Custom thickness & sheet sizes
✔ Industrial, medical & aerospace-grade supply

When performance matters, price becomes secondary to reliability.

Final Takeaway: MuMetal Sheet Price Is a Performance Indicator

MuMetal Sheet Price reflects:

• Purity
• Processing
• Annealing
• Reliability

If shielding failure costs more than the sheet itself—and it usually does—the lowest quote is rarely the best choice.

Build with materials that deliver consistent results.
Rely on standards proven in critical applications.
Choose DOMADIA™ MuMetal Sheets—engineered for shielding that lasts.
