The temperature above which demagnetization occurs is called the Curie point. This is listed for many materials. For example, it can be as low as 25 deg C for monel (nickel copper alloys) to as high as 1121 C for cobalt. Nickel-iron alloys are in the range 300-500 C; iron is 770 C. I think

Dear All, I was thinking about the effect of high temperature on the magnet. I know that very high temperatures can destroy the magnetic power, but what about temperatures around 35 or 40ÂșC, day after day? Vanderlei Borsari 23.5 S 46.5 W -Mensagem original- De: JOHN DAVIS [mailt
