The main materials used for shieldings are:
- Supermumetal for applications in low fields requiring high permeability.
- Mumetal for conventional shielding applications in low fields (a few mT max) where a good attenuation is required.
- Iron-nickel alloys (36% or 50%) for shields in weak or strong fields with an intermediate attenuation.
- Pure iron for strong fields.
- Cryomumetal for shields operating at very low temperatures (a few Kelvin)
- Cobalt iron or silicon iron is sometimes used, but in very specific cases.
