I noticed high levels of magnetism on 1/2"  HY 100 plate I received.  Is this normal?
The reason I ask is that I'm looking at developing a weld procedure for an automated process.  I can't use the usual demag techniques prior to the robot receiving the massive part.

High strength steels are harder to magnetize, but once they are, it is harder to demagnetize them.

If the plate was handled with a magnetic lifting device, the retained field could be bothersome and may require demagnetization.

The subject has be covered in several past threads. Do a search and you will have plenty of opinions and recommendations on the subject. Good luck.
