Thanks in advance

the 60-20-20 cunife is for an audio application, thanks anyways
solutions exist but not for casual interests. Things are better now. The last time I needed ferro-alloys alloys in bulk form it was a 10,000 lb minimum
Hacksaw: That look like a good company, but it appears that they just provide bulk metal, to a specific composition.
Getting Cunife is not a matter of just ordering a specific composition alloy. Cunife needs to also be heat treated and drawn down to achieve proper magnetic properties.
You are right that this is not something for casual interests. The inquiries I get are generally for small quantities in designs that have been in use for decades. When I can, I switch them to some other material, but it is not easy. That's why I was hoping you knew of someone that still makes the material (after heat treating & drawing) It appears that the market for Cunife is too small to support whatever applications remain.
Thanks anyway.

Fully cognizant of difficulty of getting finished forms, material tests, purities, BH testing, etc. We had access to a fully decked out research lab for support. Custom materials were never easy but figuratively not impossible.
Sounds like an opportunity to create a new design.
