  1. Yeah, I believe hysteresis is what I'm interested in. Do you have any idea how strong the electric current would have to be to have an effect on a small piece of steel? I am assuming a AA battery would not be enough? I'm only interested in temporarily strengthening the field after the electric current is removed.
  2. What about "remanent magnetism"? Sometimes the magnetic field can stay for a bit longer after the electric current has been removed.
  3. How long would I have to charge it so that it would have a significant change and strengthen? I've read that as soon as I remove the electrical current the magnetic field usually goes back to normal if the current is not strong enough.
  4. I know that an electric current can create a magnetic field, but can it strengthen a magnet field of a piece of steel if I charge it? The piece of steel already has its own magnetic field, so if I charge it with, let's say a AA battery, will it strengthen the magnetic field? If I was using a metal detector, would it cause the metal detector to sense something stronger if the steel is charged?
  5. Yeah I know about non-magnetic stainless steel, I just need to do something with the steel I'm working with currently. So if heating it is an option, what would be the best way to heat it? Would boiling it in water work? And how long does it stay less magnetic? Also, would zapping it with electricity do anything?
  6. The steel I'm working with is not magnetic themselves, if I put the two pieces of steel together they will not stick together. But is it possible to make the steel not stick to a magnet, or at the very least make the piece of steel less attracted to a magnet?
