Steel to create electromagnet
Steel to create electromagnet
(OP)
Hi
I am building an electromagnet and have been told to be careful of what steel i use, i have been told to use a soft iron rod. Therefore i ask is rebar ok? Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The higher the field and lower the residual then the cleaner and lower in carbon the steel needs to be.
Have you looked in the Magnetic engineering forum?

It is soft, expensive, and it has a low saturation value.
If you don't care how the material behaves at low field levels or how much field it retains, then just about any low carbon steel that has been annealed will look the same to you.
