Prominent USA Universities Install High-Tech Lab MuROOM

Large Scale Lab Shielding University Project Installations

Our new state-of-the-art MuROOM® installation at the University of Illinois (UOI) Champaign-Urbana USA, Electron Microscopy (EM) facility within the notably renown Materials Research Lab (MRL) was completed this last year. The UOI’s progressive research environment is considered to be at the forefront of industry in materials science, condensed matter physics, and materials chemistry. One of the top global materials research centers mentoring the next generation of scientific researchers.

The MuROOM® project by Magnetic Shield Corporation USA, was constructed in segments during 2017-2018 successfully, using our high permeability MuMETAL® for advanced low-field testing applications. A large scale custom modular MuROOM was built to their design specifications with perfection annealed sheet that is ready for design installations. Our high nickel-iron composition sheet material is processed through our specialized heat treatment which produces the optimum shielding necessary to conduct high technology experimentation. Our MuROOM team builds the modular room on location at your designated area or facility.

There are over 140 plus instruments in operation that are managed by the MRL. Electron microscopy instruments are located at the MRL where research groups perform tests within the new muroom environment which reduces the earth’s magnetic field up to 125 times. Our MuROOM enables the research teams to reliably and accurately conduct sensitive scientific applications that require reduced electromagnetic interference. High resolution and atomic resolution imaging are achieved using precision instruments such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission, and Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM/STEM) respectively. These are types of applications that researchers are collaborating on to solve great challenges.

Modular MuROOM® Installation

Another recent successful large scope project at Virginia Technical Institute USA (VTI), was completed the summer of 2018. VTI designed and built a MuROOM® in partnership with Magnetic Shield Ltd. UK, and in cooperation with Magnetic Shield Corp. USA. Our MuROOM team from Magnetic Shield constructed the modular room on-site to their exacting specifications.

Introducing NEW MuMETAL® Deep Draw Annealed Coil Used In Stamping and Forming of Shielding Cans and Enclosures

MuMETAL® is used primarily in low intensity fields where high attenuation is desired (high initial permeability & high shielding efficiency). Our MuMETAL® Deep Draw Coil is
available for stamping and forming of shielding cans. Typically, atmospherically controlled Perfection Annealing is required after stamping, deep drawing, machining, bending, rolling
or welding to provide maximum shielding performance.

MuMETAL® Deep Draw Coil supply is stocked in gauges from 0.014" to 0.025" thickness [0,36mm to 0,64mm] and 12” wide. Coil can be slit to your tooling width at a minimum width of 1/4" (6,35mm).

Note: Priced per linear foot. Volume discounts available.

Magnetic Shield Corporation has reliable and proven low frequency custom shielding solutions to meet your project, electronic application, OEM design, R & D models, prototype and production requirements and specs. From specialty magnetic shielding alloys such as MuMETAL® and products in-stock or available, to engineering technical expertise, and benefits of working with a leading supplier - we offer quality industry standard materials and precision custom shielding.

Material Selection
For fabricated shields, we use MuMETAL® Stress Annealed Alloy. MuMETAL® is the most commonly used shielding alloy because of its reputation as a highest permeability shielding alloy available. MuMETAL® is generally available for fabrication and must be annealed after welding, forming or bending. Engineers and Buyers beware: MuMETAL® is a registered brand of Magnetic Shield Corporation. We do not support other companies that sell shielding materials they claim are "mumetal" - it is not a generic name but a registered, proprietary brand that we certify to exacting quality standards and material specifications.

Alloy Finishing
After a full magnetic anneal, MuMETAL® and Co-NETIC® shielding alloys exhibit a clean, bright surface condition. Also, because of its high nickel content, these alloys are corrosion resistant. Consequently, MuMETAL® and Co-NETIC® shielding alloys are usually used as annealed, without further finishing operations. But, there is a variety of finishing operations available to customers requiring additional corrosion resistance or cosmetically pleasing finished parts. Other purposes for finishing include preparing surfaces for paint adhesion and achieving a specific micro-inch (µin) finish.

Start to Finish
Let us manage the fabrication, manufacturing, tooling, production planning, quality inspection, and on-time delivery of your products within your budget scope. Our facilities and
state of the art equipment can produce high volume finished products to smaller quantity orders if needed. Ask about large quantity item price breaks. We are the source for your complete shielding needs. Our technical team looks forward to answering any questions you may have.

Magnetic Shielding Efficiency for Wiring Applications

Increasingly, many magnetic shielding applications today require a flexible, continuously enclosed shielding barrier to avoid pickup of external fields or radiation of interfering, unwanted fields. One of the key components to a successful solution is choosing the correct shielding alloy. Co-NETIC® AA has been used in many demanding applications and is one of the most recognized and specified brands of magnetic shielding alloy worldwide. Co-NETIC® AA alloy is a proprietary material known for high permeability and used for reducing EMI in electrical / electronic wiring applications such as: power feeds, aerospace, vehicle controls, test and measurement devices, audio-level interconnections, communication equipment, and hand-held devices. Co-NETIC® AA CABLE SHIELD® is specified regularly for these types of applications across a broad range of industries as listed below.

AA CABLE SHIELD® Made of Co-NETIC® AA Alloy - Fully Annealed

AA CABLE SHIELD is produced from Co-NETIC® AA high permeability 36AWG Wire and formed into a flexible braided weave sleeving, which is available in tubular continuous lengths. Our AA CABLE SHIELD® unique design with a continuously enclosed shielding barrier manufactured with proprietary Co-NETIC® AA alloy has distinct advantages over foil wrapping or rigid channeling; and is used to avoid pickup of unwanted external H-fields (D.C. to 100 kHz), or to mitigate radiation from cable and conductors. Co-NETIC® AA is used primarily in low intensity fields where high attenuation is desired (high initial permeability & high shielding efficiency). Braid is tightly weaved, so shield coverage is 90% at nominal linear state. In addition, Co-NETIC® AA wire is corrosion resistant.

Co-NETIC® AA wire in .005" diameter (36AWG) is widely used in fabrication of magnetic shielding braid to certain customer specifications where our stock Co-NETIC® Braided Sleeving may not be specified.

Specifications:
Co-NETIC® Braided Sleeving complies with A-A-59569 (QQ-B-575). Co-NETIC® Wire meets military specification MIL-N-14411, Comp 1.

Sample: A sample of the AA CABLE SHIELD is included in our Lab Kits.

NEW Larger Size ZG-218 Zero Gauss Chambers In Stock Now!

We have expanded our stock chambers to include our new larger size chamber ZG-218 with an inside work area measuring 18” diameter.

MuMETAL® Zero Gauss Chambers have been used worldwide by many universities, private research companies, national laboratories and companies required to provide evidence of military or consumer regulatory compliance. Our scientifically engineered chambers are preferred because they are fabricated from high permeability (µ) Stress Annealed MuMETAL®, which provides a crucial and consistent extremely low magnetic field test area in the laboratory work space. Custom size chambers are available in different diameters, lengths, thicknesses and configurations, yet most applications are solved with one of our standard models.
