Heat it to high temperature and this will randomize the orientations of the individual magnetic moments of the atoms.

To what high temperature and how?

There are various ways to demagnetise a metal. The above method is one way

Here are some others:

- Drop the magnet over and over again (if you're not afraid of it shattering. Only do this if you know the metal you're dropping is not brittle)

- Get another magnet that is stronger than your's and stroke your magnet in one way with it for a period of time. And then change the direction of stroking.

Where can I find permanent magnets?

Permanent magnets can be found in stores that sell hardware or industrial supplies, as well as online retailers. Specialized magnet stores or suppliers may also carry a wide variety of permanent magnets for different uses.


How do you make a metal magnet?

To make a metal magnet, you can create a temporary magnet by stroking a metal material (like iron) with a permanent magnet in the same direction. This aligns the magnetic domains in the metal. For a more permanent magnet, you can heat the metal to a specific temperature and then cool it in the presence of a magnetic field to enhance its magnetic properties.


What does permanent magnet attracts?

Permanent magnets attract certain types of metals such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. This attraction is due to the alignment of magnetic domains within the metal, causing a magnetic force to be generated between the magnet and the metal.


What type of metal makes the strongest magnet?

Neodymium is the type of metal that makes the strongest magnet. It is commonly used in making powerful permanent magnets due to its high magnetism and strength.


What happens when a force is applied to a metal?

Depends on how strong the metal is, how much of it there is, and how big the force is. Strong metal, lots of it, only little force - nothing happens. Strong metal, small part, little force - the metal will stretch and then spring back when the force is removed. Strong metal, small part, more force - the metal will stretch permanently. Strong metal, small part, even more force, the metal will stretch until it snaps. etcetc

Can you use permanent marker on metal?

Yes, you can use permanent marker on metal surfaces, and it typically adheres well. However, the durability of the ink may vary depending on the type of metal and environmental conditions. For best results, ensure the metal is clean and dry before applying the marker. Keep in mind that permanent marker can be difficult to remove from metal, so use it cautiously.

Is bluing permanent?

Bluing, as it relates to firearms or metal in general, is a permanent surface treatment under ideal conditions. Poorly maintained bluing will fade or flake off. Bluing is a "form of rust", an oxide layer on the outside of the metal. You can remove it using various abrasives, but yes it is permanent.

Can acrylic paint be used to paint metal jewelry?

Yes it can. In most instances, the acrylic will actually protect metals without damaging the base metal as it is plastic to begin with. However do not expect it to be permanent. In order for the artwork to be permanent, it needs to be in baked enamel.


Can you solder permanent jewelry?

Yes, soldering can be used to create permanent jewelry by joining metal pieces together using a heated soldering iron and a soldering alloy.
