The lifting guidelines provide the user with what minimum thickness of load is re- quired to reach full lifting capacity. Below such thickness of load, the user must ac- cept the reduced lifting capacity of the magnet as shown in the guidelines. Walker Magnetics, Inc., NEO Permanent Lifting Magnets... - Page 7 3. LOAD ALLOY Low carbon steels, such as AISI 1020 steel, are nearly as good conductors of magnetic lines of force as pure iron. However, many other alloys contain non-magnetic materials, which re- duce the ability of magnetic lines of force to fl ow into the load. An alloy such as AISI 300 series of stainless steel is almost as poor a conductor of magnetic lines of force as air.
