Hello,
I'm designing an electromagnet which will simply be a lot of magnet wire wound around a 1/2" diameter steel dowell rod. I've been searching around on the internet unsuccessfully for a while now looking for a general chart which gives permeability data for various materials (Like what you'd see in a physics textbook in the section on permeability, only I don't have a physics textbook at hand). I don't expect to be able to find the exact permeability for the steel that I have--If I could find something that said "steel : xxx N/A^2" I'm sure that ballpark would be good enough.
Thanks!
