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
I think you are confusing magnetism with ferromagnetism.
Iron cobalt and nickel are ferromagnetic, not magnetic.
