Or otherwise PLACE the workpiece into the energized magnetizing coil; gradually REDUCE the current in the coil to zero or directly MAKE the AC pass through the workpiece and meanwhile gradually REDUCE the current to zero. 8.2.2 DC demagnetization method PLACE the workpiece to be demagnetized into the DC electromagnetic field; constantly CHANGE the current direction; and gradually REDUCE the current to zero. 8.3 Remanence measurement The demagnetization effect of the workpiece can be generally measured by magnetic field strength meter or other remanence magnetometer; AND the remanence strength after demagnetization shall not be greater than 0.3mT (240A/m) OR otherwise in accordance with product technical conditions.
