summary: |
  METGLAS 2826MB is a nickel-based amorphous metal ribbon from Metglas, Inc. The manufacturer's technical bulletin gives a density of 7.90 g/cm3 and a saturation induction of 0.88 T, and lists field sensors, shielding and high-frequency cores as its applications. Its maximum DC permeability is 800000 when annealed and above 50000 as cast, and the bulletin prints no unit for it.
best_for: Field sensors and magnetic shielding where a high annealed DC permeability (800000 in the bulletin) is the goal
weakest_at: 'Thin evidence base: the full property set comes from one manufacturer bulletin dated 2011, the permeability has no unit, and no corrosion test or space data were found'
identity:
  formula: Amorphous iron nickel-based ribbon with molybdenum and boron; the SDS prints composition ranges only for a six-alloy family

gaps:
  - No per-grade composition for 2826MB was printed in the sources read. The SDS composition table covers six alloys (iron, cobalt, nickel, silicon, molybdenum, boron, manganese) and gives ranges by weight; it says cobalt is not present in 2826MB. The composition Fe40Ni38Mo4B18 named in the planning note was not found in any source fetched in this run and is not used.
  - No UNS, EN, ASTM, JIS, AISI or DIN designation for 2826MB was printed in the sources read. Only the trade name 2826MB is listed.
  - Vickers hardness of 740 (50 g load) is printed in the bulletin and product page without a unit, so it is left out rather than given a unit that is not printed.
  - Maximum DC permeability is printed without a unit in the bulletin and product page; the two values are entered as dimensionless numbers.
  - The SDS relative density of 7.5 to 8 applies to the six-alloy family and is not used as a 2826MB value; the bulletin's 7.90 g/cm3 is used.
  - No annealing temperature or time for 2826MB is printed. The bulletin shows no-field and longitudinal field anneal curves without values.
  - No corrosion rate, humidity test, salt-spray result or exposure time for 2826MB was found; higher corrosion resistance is a manufacturer benefit claim with no test.
  - No space flight, vacuum, cryogenic or radiation data for 2826MB were found in the sources read. AEHF-1 appears only in the SDS product list.
  - The magnetic shielding use rests on the manufacturer's product page. A 2016 APS abstract on 2826MB shielding was found, but its page gave only a truncated description and did not name 2826MB, so it is not used.
  - 'Supply: nickel and molybdenum country shares are calculated by Space Mushroom from the USGS 2025e world totals. No producer shares were read for boron or silicon. Boron and silicon critical-list status is from the USGS 2025 list only.'
  - 'Property names not in spores/property-canon.yaml and used here: saturation_magnetostriction and crystallization_temperature.'
  - The bulletin is dated 2011 (ref 2826MB04202011). The 2016 URL serves the same bulletin, so it is cited once. The SDS is a combined sheet for six alloys and is dated 07/17/2020.
  - Wikipedia (amorphous metal article) is used for family history only; it gives no 2826MB value.

  risk_groups:
    - title: For people
      level: 1
      verdict: Not classified; fume risk
      lead: The combined SDS classes the product as an article under normal use, with no GHS classification. Fumes from heating or processing are the main health concern the sheet names.
      points:
        - label: Fume
          line: The SDS says metal fume fever can follow exposure to high concentrations of fumes.
        - label: Carcinogen listing
          line: The SDS lists nickel as IARC group 1 and as reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen. It gives no nickel amount for 2826MB alone.
        - label: Edges
          line: The SDS says to take care with items that are sharp or heavy.
    - title: If the ribbon burns or is heated
      level: 2
      verdict: Toxic vapour in fire
      lead: The SDS says there is no specific fire or explosion hazard, but decomposition products may include metal oxides and toxic vapour.
      points:
        - label: Fire
          line: The SDS says the product has no specific fire or explosion hazard and may give off toxic vapour in a fire.
        - label: Heating
          line: The bulletin prints a crystallization temperature of 410 °C and does not say what happens to the ribbon above it.
    - title: Handling and storage
      verdict: Keep dry and clear of corrosives
      points:
        - label: Storage
          line: The SDS says to store the product under local regulations and to keep it clear of moisture and corrosive material.
        - label: Incompatibility
          line: The SDS lists moisture and corrosive material as incompatible.
  why: METGLAS 2826MB is a nickel-based amorphous metal ribbon from Metglas, Inc. It has no crystal lattice, and the manufacturer lists it for field sensors, shielding, high-frequency cores and magnetomechanical sensors. The bulletin gives a saturation induction of 0.88 T. No space flight or space-environment data for this grade were found in the sources read. Wikipedia's amorphous metal article notes the Metglas family of iron, nickel and boron alloys went into low-loss power distribution transformers; that history is for the family, not this grade.
  uses:
    - where: Field sensors
      line: The bulletin lists field sensors as an application of 2826MB, with a saturation induction of 0.88 T.
    - where: Magnetic shielding
      line: The product page lists shielding applications for 2826MB. The page gives no shield test data for this grade.
    - where: High-frequency cores
      line: The bulletin lists high frequency cores as an application of 2826MB.
  can_do:
    - label: Saturation induction
      benchmark: saturation_induction
      value: 0.88 T
      line: The bulletin gives a saturation induction of 0.88 T for 2826MB.
    - label: DC permeability
      benchmark: dc_permeability
      value: 800000 annealed; above 50000 as cast
      line: The bulletin gives a maximum DC permeability of 800,000 when annealed and above 50,000 as cast. The bulletin prints no unit for either value.
    - label: Continuous service
      benchmark: max_service_temp
      value: 125 °C
      line: The bulletin gives a continuous service temperature of 125 °C.
    - label: Density
      benchmark: density
      value: 7.90 g/cm3
      line: The bulletin gives a density of 7.90 g/cm3 for the ribbon.
  compare: The bulletin prints values for 2826MB only and gives no comparison table with other grades. The product page lists higher corrosion resistance and lower magnetostriction as benefits, but names no comparison alloys. The compare rows below therefore show the bulletin's own values for 2826MB, with no ranking against another grade.
  compare_rows:
    - label: Density
      benchmark: density
    - label: Saturation induction
      benchmark: saturation_induction
    - label: Curie temperature
      benchmark: curie_temperature
  handling:
    - Take care with sharp or heavy items, and wear personal protective equipment, as the SDS advises.
    - Keep the product clear of moisture and corrosive material, as the SDS advises for storage.
    - Keep fumes low when the ribbon is heated or processed, because metal fume fever can follow high concentrations.
  good_for:
    - Field sensors and high-frequency cores, the two uses the bulletin lists first.
    - 'Magnetic shielding where high permeability after annealing is needed: the bulletin gives 800000 DC permeability when annealed.'
  watch_out:
    - The bulletin is one manufacturer document dated 2011, and it prints no unit for permeability.
    - No corrosion rate was found. The SDS says moisture and corrosive material are incompatible with the product.
    - Composition is printed only as ranges for a six-alloy family, so the exact grade composition was not found.
  verdict: METGLAS 2826MB has a full manufacturer bulletin of magnetic and physical values, but its evidence rests on that one 2011 document and a product page. Corrosion, anneal temperature, composition and space behaviour are not documented in the sources read.
