Yes, all steels are magnetic. The difference is in the material being a "soft" or a "hard" magnetic material.

A cold rolled mild steel, such as 1018 steel, is considered a "soft" magnetic material.

I recommend reading "ASM Ready Reference: Electrical and Magnetic Properties of Metals" by Charles Moosbrugger and Fran Cverna for reference details and information. Particularly the brief section of Chapter 7 would be most helpful to you, with values in Chapter 8.

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.


Difference between Black mild steel and bright mild steel?

from what i can gather, which isn't alot:Cold Rolled Steel Strip is produced, as the term suggests by the further rolling of strip produced by the hot strip mills.Prior to cold rolling, the mill scale has to be removed, normally by the Pickling Process which uses mechanical manipulation (around small diameter rolls) and acid to dissolve the surface scale. The surface is then washed to remove the acid and a light oil added to prevent rusting.Mild steel sheet is manufactured generally in two grades, cold rolled and hot rolled.Hot rolled mild steel sheet is the initial product produced by the steel mill as a downstream process prior to further processing such as cold rolling.Hot rolled mild steel sheet has a mill scale which is usually black in colour. Hence the common name Black Mild Steel Sheet. Black mild steel sheet is commonly used in fabrication shops, it is more economical than cold rolled mild steel sheet.Black mild steel sheet will usually require more preparation work prior to any finishing system being applied.Cold rolling is done to:Reduce the thicknessImprove the surface finishImprove the thickness tolerancesTo offer a range of "tempers"As a preparation for surface coating


Density of galvanized iron?

A galvanized iron is similar to steel; it is material that composed of cold-rolled and hot-dip galvanized mild steel. It has 7850 kilograms per cubic meter density same as a steel.


Is zinc plated galvanized steel magnetic?

Yes, the mild steel under the plating is magnetic. The coating only prevents corrosion.


What is the tensile strength of cold rolled steel?

1018 Mild (low-carbon) steel Yield Strength, psi 53,700 =370Mpa = 3775 kg/cm2 ASTM A36 Mild (low-carbon) steel Yield Strength, psi 36,300 = 12000psi at allowable safety factor of 4x = 82 Mpa = 843kg/cm2


Can an electromagnet be made out of anything made of metal?

It has to be a magnetic material, iron is the best. Mild steel is ok but stainless steel not.


What is the tensile strength of mild steel?

Mild steel is a fairly general classification and can cover a considerable variation in material properties. Cold drawn grades in particular will have a higher tensile strength than hot rolled. Something like 400 MPa for yield stress and 500 MPa for ultimate tensile strength is quite common.


Is cold rolled steel rod harder than drill rod?

I believe drill-rod is harder than ordinary, cold-rolled steel - I cant give the specs to back that up definitively, but in my 14 yrs of industrial maintenance experience, I believe that to be correct. +++ I agree if I am right in thinking that "drill-rod" is the material called "silver-steel" in the UK. This is an alloy capable of being hardened and tempered to make cutting-tools, spindles etc, but is pretty tough to machine even in its annealed state. Cold-rolled mild-steel in turn, is tougher than hot-rolled m.s. but I don't know if it is any stronger. That would depend on the specific alloy rather than process.
