The magnetic properties of iron are high susceptibility and low retentivity. It means that it is easier to magnetize but also loses magnetism easily. The properties of steel are the opposite of iron.

Why wouldn't carbon-hardened steel be very magnetic?

Stainless steel is not a pure magnetic metal, its really a collective name for a steel alloy that is mixed with other metals in order to give it the properties that make the metal compound so desirable.


Is hot-rolled steel magnetic?

Yes, hot-rolled steel is magnetic. A few types of steel have limited magnetic properties, but hot rolling is a process by which steel is prepared in a shape for marketing. The hot rolling does not affect the ability of the steel to be attracted to a magnet.

What causes magnets to atrack the refigerator?

A2. You'll be aware that in magnetics, like forces repel and unlike forces attract. And that various materials (plastics, wood, steel, aluminium) have varying magnetic properties. These properties are such things as ferromagetism, ferrimagnetism, paramagnetism and so on.When you place a magnet on a piece of steel, the magnet will induce in the steel a magnetic field of opposite sign, and thus the steel is attracted to the magnet.Naturally, there are good articles on these subjects in wikipedia.
