What metal is used to concentrate magnetic fields in this video?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the metal used to concentrate magnetic fields in a specific video. Participants identified Mu-metal as the likely candidate due to its high permeability, which effectively channels magnetic fields. The orientation of the magnet, with the magnetic field parallel to the metal block surface, further supports the use of Mu-metal or similar materials for optimal magnetic field concentration.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of magnetic field principles
  • Knowledge of materials with high magnetic permeability
  • Familiarity with the properties of Mu-metal
  • Basic concepts of magnet orientation and its effects
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties and applications of Mu-metal in magnetic shielding
  • Explore alternatives to Mu-metal for magnetic field concentration
  • Study the effects of magnet orientation on magnetic field strength
  • Learn about the manufacturing processes of high-permeability alloys
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, engineers, and hobbyists interested in magnetic field applications and materials science will benefit from this discussion.

My guess: Mu-metal or something similar.
Note the orientation of the magnet: The magnetic field inside is parallel to the metal block surface, it goes through the small plates and returns in the big metal block.
