Best material for housing?
(OP)
Looking for the best iron to use in a high performance miniature DC motor application for actuation purposes. The magnetic core or magnets are SmCo 3mm thick x 12mm long x 15mm tall "arc segments".
The housing can be stamped or machined from billet.
Thanks,
MMPD.

Thank you Tony & Ed for your response!

High permeability, high flux density, high resistivity, good strength, and good machining characteristics. Cost is not a real concern since the housing OD is under one inch.
Looking for the best material with the best magnetic properties as described above.
Thanks,

In lieu of that, if you can live with lower resistivity, I would use 1215, which you can get from McMaster-Carr all day long.

I have been looking at the Carpenter "magnetic steels" including Carpenter Electricla Iron. Your suggestion of Carpenter Silicon Core Iron B-FM is right in line with Carpenters information as listed on the Carpenter web site. Bar form is fine; my OD requierements are <.750".
Thanks,

I know they make it in .875" diameter, because that's how one of my suppliers purchased it when I was at a previous employer! They may be willing to sell you some if they keep any in inventory, or else, the next time they do a mill run for my former supplier.

I have a call in to Carpenter Steel and will know shortly what is available and when. Carpenter's vast selection of "magnetic or electrical steels" should yield positive results.
Thanks again,
