If iron cobalt and nickel are magnetic (which I think is the right term, but it feels wrong since magnets stick but it doesn’t magnet to other steel) then why does using nickel to make stainless steel render steel non-magnetic?
Or is my metallurgical understanding just completely off?
In: Physics
Cause the two magnetic fields cancel each other out.
Also because the manufacturing process and the heat changes the metal enough to make it not magnetic.
