Can stainless be de-magnetized?

[gizzy]

I heard that this can be done. I hear it happens in cheap stainless. Any thoughts?

The higher quality of stainless that you have the less magnetic it is.

I have some huge plates of ss that I want to cut up and use for a generator but I have put a magnet to them and you can feel a slight pull from the magnet. I was wondering if it is ok to use them?

i have read for the cheaper stainless, its better to have all the same , so here a pic of how to.

So magnetism is a less grade of SS and the metal rusting is what could cause the water to look black. Is this killing the HHO production?

As I understand it, it's not that the lower grade of ss has magnetism in it, it's just that there is more carbon present making it more magnetic like regular steel. The higher grade ss has little or no carbon, thus not attracted by a magnet. So there is really no demagnetising to do on ss.

actually the reason there is black stuff on the ss is because it was not cleaned properly to start with.
