anyone know of any suppliers for Mumetal or permalloy that is not just super thin sheets?

I am working on a project that could greatly benefit from this, but all I have found are those sheets for shielding audio components. no where near thick enough,

From what I am seeing the backing plates to the magnets in hard drives are permalloy, so I may try using a massive fresnel lens I have to melt it. if I can I will maybe make a howto video on the process including how to make molds to drop the molten metal into for your designs.

but a good supplier of say .01 to .063 thick sheets that we can cut and form ourselves would be super helpful for sure I would guess.
