A magnet has magnetic properties because the dipoles of the atoms are lined up in a single direction. To demagnetize it, you must scramble the dipoles out of alignment. First, heat the magnet past the Curie point (the temperature at which it loses its magnetic properties until cooled). Strike it on the ends of the magnet with a hammer. When cooled, it will no longer be magnetized.
An electromagnet is, by definition, magnetic when current flows in the coil. You demagnetize it by shutting off the current.
A "permanent" magnet is demagnetized by violently disturbing the material's microscopic magnetic domains, for example by heating it intensely, hammering it, dropping it, or placing it in the magnetic field of a strong alternating current.
In a magnet, the alignment of the magnetic fields produced by the magnetic atoms (iron, cobalt, etc) in the magnet is what gives it its magnetic properties. Anything that can randomise the spacial orientation of these magnetic atoms will demagnetise the magnet. Some examples of ways to do this are heating the magnet above its Curie temperature or striking it repeatedly with sufficient force (e.g. hitting it with a hammer).
Permanent magnets can be de-magnetised by heating them.
Or by inducing a magnet with opposite poles.
With electromagnets, turn off the (electric) current.
Heating and hammering will demagnetize .
Materials which retain their magnetism and are difficult to demagnetize are called hard magnetic materials. These materials retain their magnetism even after the removal of the applied magnetic field. Hence these materials are used for making permanent magnets. In permanent magnets the movement of the domain wall is prevented. They are prepared by heating the magnetic materials to the required temperature and then quenching them. Impurities increase the strength of hard magnetic materials. Soft magnetic materials are easy to magnetize and demagnetize. These materials are used for making temporary magnets. The domain wall movement is easy. Hence they are easy to magnetize. By annealing the cold worked material, the dislocation density is reduced and the domain wall movement is made easier. Soft magnetic materials should not possess any void and its structure should be homogeneous so that the materials are not affected by impurities.

there are 50 types of materials
Choosing MaterialsWhen choosing materials involves weighing advantages and disadvantages of the different materials ( higher quality, stronger materials are usually more expensive)
"It is best to demagnetize metal objects before using them around magnetic tape drives." "Heat tends to demagnetize ferrous minerals."
no you can't

Bring it to me. I will do my "special technique" to demagnetize it. You know, sell it and not give you any of the money. Gold isn't magnetic, so if you got some that IS it's got iron in it.
It means to make something not magnetic anymore

Obviously no.
No. Steel is mostly iron.
