High Temp and Magnets
High Temp and Magnets
(OP)
I've done a bit of research on the effect of temp on a material's magnetism, but I really need yes or no answer. Is is pointless to try to pick up an iron piece that is around 1600 deg F with a magnet. The curie temp is 1420 deg F so iron's ferromagnetism disappears, but paramagnetism remains. Can I exploit paramagnetism to achieve the same ends? Thanks.

Just wanted to mention: If you had planned to use a permanent magnet to pick up the iron, the magnet would demagnetize when brought near-to or in-contact with the iron at that temperature. The Curie point of Alnico is 1580 degF.

These effects are fun to play with. Some liquid gases have similar properties.
