Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around the bending of a thin sheet of Permalloy-80 for the purpose of creating a magnetic shield, specifically addressing concerns about potential damage to the material's magnetic properties due to the bending process.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Technical explanation
Main Points Raised
- One participant inquires whether bending a 0.004" sheet of Permalloy-80 to a 6" radius will affect its magnetic properties.
- Another participant suggests that bending the sheet gently should not alter the material's properties.
- A third participant shares their experience using mumetal for enclosures with different radii, indicating that the material performed well after bending.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
There is no clear consensus on the impact of bending on the magnetic properties of Permalloy-80, though some participants express confidence that it will not be adversely affected.
Contextual Notes
The discussion does not address specific limitations or assumptions regarding the bending process or the properties of Permalloy-80.
