flux density), along with the respective cost of the alloys considered. Of the 5 families of magnetic alloys (iron, silicon iron, nickel-iron, iron-cobalt, ferritic stainless
steel), nickel-iron shows the highest
permeability but the lowest flux density. Iron-cobalt ranks first both in flux density and expensiveness. Silicon iron, by contrast, is placed in the middle in all three aspects. Typical MIM magnetic alloys include: Nickel-base alloy (Fe-50Ni, Fe-80Ni). Silicon iron (Fe-3Si, Fe-7Si...
