ANY good magnetically soft type of core material is suitable for low- and medium-performance magnetic amplifiers. For these types, the permeability and core loss have only minor effects upon the control characteristic of the magnetic amplifier. If the saturation density is reasonably high and the core loss is reasonably low, then the material probably will be suitable for such amplifiers.
