All, I have been looking online and have found lots of info but I would also like to hear from anyone here who has actually done what I want to do. The goal is to magnetise a heat treated to 40 Rc steel rod that is .200 in diameter in the radial direction. The area to be magnetised needs to be about .350" from the end of the rod. The magnetism can be pretty weak, it only needs to hold a steel sleeve in place for a few seconds. But the end of the rod must have a very weak magnetic strength, weak enough that it won't even hold a straight pin. Thanks, Eric
