Why air coil with soft iron core inductance is greater then air coil laminated steel core?

Soft iron has a greater permeability than steel. BTW, the only reason for laminations is to reduce eddy currents in the core. It has no effect on permeability or inductance.


Is zinc plated galvanized steel magnetic?

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


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.


What is 606m36t steel grade?

This is a steel with magnetic properties and is used for low temperatures.


Is 340 stainless magnetic?

Steel is essentially native iron with carbon or other elements added, so all steels are potentially magnetic.Many electrical transformers use a version of mild steel, called "transformer steel".Stalloy (a silicon steel alloy) is one example.High-performance audio transformers use more complex alloys such as mu-metal (nickel-iron-copper-molybdenum).Stainless steel has high concentrations of nickel/chromium, and these high concentrations make most stainless steel alloys non-magnetic.Magnetic stainless steel has weak magnetic properties, so it is not a practical magnetic material.Stainless steel is categorized by AISI Type. Some are magnetic. Generally any steel with or at or over 11% Chromium is a stainless steel. The 200 and 300 series are not magnetic, however the 400 series is magnetic. The 400 series has enough Iron and Carbon to allow it to be heat treated to harden it. Most stainless steel knife blades are hardened 421 stainless steel and are magnetic.Some stainless steel is attracted by magnets, but most is not. It depends on the composition of the alloy and how it has been processed. Stainless steel is an alloy of steel, chromium and sometimes nickel. The metal has a crystalline structure that is not easily penetrated by magnetic flux (it has a low magnetic permeability). Some forms of stainless steel, particularly those without nickel, are attracted by magnets.However, it is the structure, not just the composition, of the steel that affects whether it will be attracted by a magnet. This can be observed in some stainless steel sinks: a magnet will not be attracted to the bowl of the sink except in the corners, where the steel has been stretched.Maybe.Some kinds of stainless steel are "nonmagnetic". Exactly what that means varies depending on the exact composition of the steel and its history (cold working or welding tend to make individual pieces "more magnetic").About all that can be said for certain is that most types of "stainless" steel alloys are less magnetic than iron is.Yes, since stainless steel is a majority iron with some chromium (10-30 wt%) and a smaller amount of other elements such as carbon (less than 0.20%), it will still be ferromagnetic and be attracted to a magnet.

What is Relative Permeability of stainless steel?

The Relative Permeability of stainless steel is approximately 1. This is applicable to stainless steel with no or hardly any magnetic property.


How do you test to see if a metal is aluminum?

With a magnet. Aluminum is not magnetic. That is of course dependent on the steel. All aluminum is non magnetic, however so are some types of steel. The degree of magnetic response or magnetic permeability is derived from the microstructure of the steel. A totally non-magnetic material has a magnetic permeability of 1. Austenitic structures are totally non-magnetic and so a 100% austenitic stainless steel would have a permeability of 1. In practice this is not achieved. There is always a small amount of ferrite and/or martensite in the steel and so permeability values are always above 1. Typical values for standard austenitic stainless steels can be in the order of 1.05 - 1.1. It is possible for the magnetic permeability of austenitic steels to be changed during processing. For example, cold work and welding are liable to increase the amount of martensite and ferrite respectively in the steel. A familiar example is in a stainless steel sink where the flat drainer has little magnetic response whereas the pressed bowl has a higher response due to the formation of martensite particularly in the corners. In practical terms, austenitic stainless steels are used for "non-magnetic" applications, for example magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In these cases, it is often necessary to agree a maximum magnetic permeability between customer and supplier. It can be as low as 1.004. REF: http://www.bssa.org.uk/faq.php?id=24 (British Stainless Steel Association) SECOND: very low tech and slightly destructive, use an angle grinder or if you have to a drill with a grinding/cutting bit. Briefly touch the metal with the bit. Steel and/or stainless steel will spark, aluminum will not. THIRD: very-very low tech. Measure, or just feel, the weight of the part. Aluminium metal used for constructions, has approximately a specific gravity of 2700 kg/m3, while stainless steel 7800 ton/m.


Why core is made up of silicon steel?

produces magnetic properties,such as small hysteresis area and permeability Hysteresis loss depends upon the material of the core


Can 316L stainless steel be picked up by a magnet?

316L stainless steel is considered "nonmagnetic", but you shouldn't count that any individual piece will be. Cold working or welding can dramatically increase the magnetic permeability of the material.


Is stainless steel is magnetic?

No, some is magnetic...


How much is a silver magnetic 1943 penny woth?

The coin is zinc coated steel, not silver, that's why it's magnetic. 1943 steel Lincoln cents are common. Most circulated coins have retail values of 5 to 10 cents.


What is the permeability of iron?

A stable, nonmagnetic austenitic alloy steel having extremely low magnetic permeability especially in the unannealed condition, and consisting essentially of, in percent by weight, carbon 0.35 to 0.45, manganese 14 to 16.5, phosphorus 0.05 max., sulfur 0.07 to 0.12, silicon 0.55 to 1.15, nickel 3.5 to 5.5, nitrogen 0.12 max., chromium, 0.50 max. and the balance iron and incidental impurities.


Are steel and iron magnetic?

No, Steel itself is nnot magnetic, but some stainless steel can be made magnetic depending on how they were worked. Silver has very week, negative reaction to magnetic field, this is called diamagnetic.


Is all steel magnetic?

Most Steel Alloys are magnetic, but stainless steel is non magnetic


Is a steel rod magnetic?

Yes. Steel is an alloy of Iron and Carbon and Iron is magnetic. Nickel is also magnetic.


Why is soft iron used for the core of an electromagent?

The main advantage of an electromagnet is it can be turned on and off. Iron is a soft magnetic material an therefore looses its magnetism very quickly, if you use a metal like like steel it will not loose it magnetism very easily and even if you turn off the current it will remain a magnet.


Is cold rolled mild steel magnetic?

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.
