Question:

whether High saturation magnetic steels attract magnet directly.?

in general steel material is used as core in electromagnets.but it is attracted by magnet.i want to know is there any material(non magnetic material)which can be used as a core,at the same time it can give same electromagnetic strenght as that of steel as a core.

Answer:

i thought they used steel or iron cores because they have a high magnetic permeability(low resistance to magnetism), not for structural strength.
No, there is no such thing. By definition, a high permeability material (such as iron or steel) will be attracted by a magnet.
