Can you magnetize a bit of metal that is not a magnetic type of metal?

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.

Will a magnet attract metal screw?
Take any fastener and rap it on a magnet several times and you'll magnetize it to a degree. Or wrap a coil of wire around it, power it up with a DC source, and then smack the fastener (screw) a bunch of good licks while it's under the influence of the electromagnetic field. The screw will become pretty well magnetized, at least enough to hold it onto a driver bit.
Why do magnets attract to metal but metals don't attract to other magnets?
i think because some metal only has atiny bit of iron
Are all metal objects attracted to a magnet?
=No not all metals are attracted to a magnet for example tin isn't attracted to a magnet. Hopes this helps a bit.=
What type of precipitation comes with a tornado?
It starts with a little bit of rain then to a heavy ran, then usually to a little bit of hail then to a heavy hail.
If like magnets repel why does north pole of magnet point towards earths north pole instead of the south pole?
Think about this,What leads you to believe that it is the north magnetic pole of the earth that the compass is pointing to? See the link. The answer is a bit mind-bending. The magnetic pole of the earth that is located near our ' geographic north pole' is magnetically a 'south' pole. Strange but true.AnswerThe answer is simple and straightforward. And it's not strange in the least!The first and most important thing to understand is that the terms 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' describe locations, or directions, and have nothing whatsoever to do with the magnetic polarities of those locations. They are called 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' to distinguish them from 'True North' and 'True South', not to identify their magnetic polarities.The end of a magnet that points to the location, 'Magnetic North', was, for obvious reasons, originally named its 'north-seeking pole'. Over time, we have dropped the word, 'seeking', and we now call that end of a magnet its 'north pole'. As well as indicating the direction in which it points, it is also used to describe its magnetic polarity.As 'unlike poles attract', in order to attract the 'north pole' of a magnet, the earth's Magnetic North Pole location must have a south magnetic polarity.
Can platinum be magnetize?
Most elements have a tiny bit of magnetism. Platinum has very little.
How can you magnetize iron oxide?
It has been found that iron oxide can be magnetized if it is the right kind of iron oxide. We know that iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3) is magnetic, and it can be combined with just a little bit of other stuff to make ferrite, which is commonly used to make magnets.

Is manganese a gas or a liquid?
no. it is a metal. I am studying it now. it can combine with other atoms. our bodies need a tiny bit. it is used to mend rusted metal sometimes. it is not magnetic. it's used in alloys.
Why don't you use steel for elctromagnets?
because steel keeps its magnetism for a bit when you switch off the current so it would still magnetize things.
Does someone make a magnetic Drill bit?
Drill bits will sometimes become magnetized from use, but not as a deliberate thing. It would cause the shaving from the drilling of metal to cling to the bit. You want the shaving to get out of the way so that you can judge how the drilling is progressing.
What is the difference between a stone drill bit and metal drill bit?
metal drill bit has a finer point
What type of blades or margins does a Venus fly trap have?
they have a metal corrugate one bit only one the margin ones.
What are the advantages to a non magnetic drill bit?
Steering & Stabilizing
What type of environmentally friendly cleaners do you use?
Vinegar. For glass or metal, nothing beats vinegar mixed with a little bit of water.
What is a Brass frame on a tattoo machine?
A brass frame means simply that the frame work holding the coils and armature is made out of "brass" metal. Brass is a bit more artistic looking yellowish metal that can be easily worked by hand tools. However some artists don't light the fact it doesn't conduct a magnetic field as well as iron or steel frame machines. Brass by nature is non magnetic. This non magnetic quality can be over come by using iron plates or cold rolled steel flat bar to support the magnetic field for the coils.
