No Scott a non-magnetic collar cannot be magnetized.
You can use a device that detects magnetism. A compass needle may suffice.
Generally, no you can't. A ferromagnetic material has what are called magnetic domains within it. These domains are effectively "tiny magnets" and are randomly arranged when they are in non-magnetized ferromagnetic metals. We can align them and make the material magnetic with the right equipment. A bit of metal that is not ferromagnetic has to domains to realign, so it can't be magnetized.
Magnetic materials are attracted to magnets. These primarily include: steel, cobalt and nickel and some of their alloys magnets attract various other substances besides pure iron . Some ceramics have slight attraction to magnets. Non magnetic materials are not attracted to magnets. These include common metals such as copper, aluminum and brass. eg. non-magnetic substances are wood, glass, copper plastic and rubber
Magnets have domains of aligned magnetic moments, resulting in a macroscopic magnetic field, which is not present in non-magnetic materials. Additionally, magnets exhibit magnetic hysteresis, the ability to retain magnetic properties after being magnetized, which is absent in materials lacking magnetism. Lastly, magnets can attract or repel other magnets or magnetic materials, a behavior not seen in non-magnetic materials.
In non-magnetic materials,the magnetic moments of individual atoms are randomly arranged giving net zero magnetic moment such that these materials are not affected when an external magnetiv field is applied
No, a non-magnetic drill collar cannot be magnetized because it is specifically designed to have low magnetic permeability. This property helps reduce interference with directional drilling tools that rely on magnetic measurements to navigate the wellbore.
In non magnetized material the domains are not ordered -they do not align with one another.
Magnetic materials are materials that can be magnetized and can create a magnetic field, such as iron and nickel. Non-magnetic materials do not respond to magnetic fields and cannot be magnetized, such as wood and plastic.
The domains in a magnetic material is aligned unlike the non-magnetic material which is scattered
Gold is not magnetic. It is a non-magnetic material, meaning it does not have magnetic properties and cannot be magnetized.
The magnetic domains of an unmagnetized material will be pointing in random directions, which is why it is appearing to me unmagnetized. In a magnetized material, they move from north to south.

No. Only a hand-full of metals can be magnetized, for example iron, nickel and cobalt.

A non-magnetic material is a substance that is not attracted to a magnet or does not retain magnetic properties. These materials include wood, glass, plastic, and aluminum.
No, gold cannot be magnetized because it is a non-magnetic material. Gold is a diamagnetic material, which means it is repelled by magnetic fields.
