Contrary to popular belief, most metals cannot be magnetised. The only common metals that can be magnetised are iron, cobalt and nickel. Mild steel, an alloy that contains over 98% iron, can also be magnetised because of its high iron content. Some steels, such as some stainless steels, have larger percentages of other metals which prevent them from being magnetised the same way.

∙ 13y agoYes steel can be magnetized using current It is a hard magnetic material because domains in steel are not so easily oriented together but once oriented they retain their alignment.This makes steel a good magnetic material.

Does steel attract a scrap heap magnet?
A scrap heap magnet attracts steel - but not steel with a high chromium or nickel content
Will the north pole of a magnet attract a peice of unmagnetised steel?
That depends on the steel. If it is a ferrous steel the magnet (either North or South) will attract it - If it is a a stainless steel that is austenitic steel it will not.
