Yes, in some critical cases, because the materials are anisotropic, however, usually it’s not a concern. Performance of the concentrators depends mainly upon their magnetic permeability, which influences the concentration effect, and on thermal conductivity, which determines the rate of heat removal from the concentrator to cooling channel in the coil. See our recommendations about optimal use of materials.
