Does any kind of magnetic powder exist? I mean not iron powder, that is attracted to a magnet but vice versa, a type of powder, that when i take an iron nail or screw and get it close to that powder, the powder will attach itself to that iron object and stay there, for as long as it is not taken...

Hey everyone. This question revolves around induction/cap sealing - or just induction heating in general. Does anyone have an idea of why aluminum foil is used in induction sealing vs. using something that is magnetic, such as iron foil? My initial thought is simply aluminum foil being...

Which do you believe is the best choice for a low temperature RF heating susceptor, i.e. - greatest rise in temperature vs. field strength. I am aware that Graphite (expanded graphite foil) has excellent thermal conductance in plane and therefore makes for very even heating patterns over large...

I have heard that when Hypochlorite bleach and vinegar mix they react to create an even stronger oxidizer than bleach alone, that doesn't reach equilibrium as fast as bleach alone. So, I wanted to make rust quickly for some experiments and tried this method with steel wool. Not kitchen steel...

Took apart a hot plate, nichrome is touching directly to the iron?? How is it not shorting out?

Hi, does anyone know how much of the universes's iron or carbon has been made in supernovae that formed black holes? Is it 5, 10, 50 % of the iron currently pressent here? And, if se, do we have any idea how much of the average stars content gets traped in the BH versus the mass of the...

Hello all, i would like to ask which is the magnetic moment of a steel and a iron wire with a length of 10,20 or 30cm! Is there any equation from which the magnetic moment can be derived? Thanks in advance :)!

The way I understand plasma is that is almost a gas except some of the electrons of separated from the nuclei entirely making positively charged. Is there a temperature in which Iron is by definition a gas, and not a plasma? Also, can something like a noble gas become a solid?

can anyone please give me the answer for addition of carbon to cast iron beyond 6.67%..

B = μ0nI Usually, the value of B is quite small... I'd like to boost the magnetic field B to a much larger and stronger field, and the most efficient way I find to do that is using a high permeability core B = ku0nI. What is the average μr of an iron core? They range from what value? Do all...

Hello, this is my first post(so, hopefully I'm not breaking any decorum). Something that I've always been puzzled about. I understand that a star will keep fusing elements until it hits iron. What I'm curious of, is why? Why does iron take so much more energy to create fusion than other...

If you apply a field to iron the various domains move around, are the individual atoms of the FCC or BCC iron aligning with the field or does the unit cube tend to have an overall orientation which moves? If so then how would you know how the unit cubes are aligned relative to their poles...

In regards to the famous experiment where a magnet is put under a sheet of paper with iron shavings on top, i don't understand why they distribute according to the shape of the magnetic lines of flux. (as seen in the link below)...

Would it be possible for biological life to evolve a part of itself to be as hard as iron? I’m thinking of a tree analog. The wood or bark can replace metal for a low-tech society. The planet itself is deficient in metals because of its history, so I’m not thinking that the life form uses...

How to calculate the amount of force required to deform an iron by 1 foot?

The "area" of the hysteresis loop depends on the coercivity, the coercivity of raw iron(Wrought iron) is 2 Oe(160 A/m). If 1 gauss = 103/ 4∏ = 79.58 A/m(I'm not sure about this, http://www.sste.mmu.ac.uk/users/shoon/pers_page/envmagn_tables_anal/Mag-Units-Tables-New.pdf(under "General working...

Out of all the formula's I studied, I could not figure out how much energy is required to magnetize soft iron ferromagnetic material that has a small hysteresis loop(Due to the low coercive force)... How can I figure this out? Also magnetization energy = demagnetization energy correct?

I have seen that the recommended daily intake of iron for adults is 45 mg/day. I've seen even lower estimates. These iron pills that I bought contain 50 mg of iron and give 278% of your daily value intake. The instructions say take two tablets daily. Isn't this a bit extreme or am I not...
