Quietquark Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Since the properties of (traditional) magnets are dependent on the crystal structure and atomic properities of iron, do these properties remain once the iron is molton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgwyther Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Nay. At the Curie point it loses its ferromagnetism. Iron melts at 1811 K and its Curie point is at 1041 K. From a post on this forum, in December 2008 by Gilded 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiot Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 You should study ferrofluid magnets. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrofluid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Ferrofluids will still fail above their Curie point; they are colloidal fluids, not a pure liquid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
