Not to nit-pick but the permeability of nearly all powdered iron
formulations actually rises with increasing flux levels (AC) and then
falls off. For #26 material (u=75), the effect is very much exagerated
with the permeability increasing nearly 300% at ~5000 Gauss and then
falling very quickly. However the permeability does drop for any value
of DC bias current and larger DC bias currents produce greater
reductions in permeability.
