Hello! Our team is developing a magnetoelastic biosensor for virus detection. We want to use a Fe-Ni magnetostrictive alloy (for example, Metglas 2826), but we can't find where to order it in low quantity for experimental tests. Metglas doesn't reply to our quote requests and another manufacturer (Vacuumschmelze) offers minimal order quantity of 450 KG.
Does anyone have experience of ordering this kind of materials in low quantities for lab tests?
