1. the process of making something magnetic or giving it magnetic properties
2. the degree to which a material is magnetized; the magnetic moment per unit volume
Usage: physics

Examples

• The magnetization of the iron rod was completed using a strong electromagnet.
• Scientists studied the magnetization process in different metals.
• The magnetization of the material increased with temperature.
• Researchers measured the magnetization of the sample in the laboratory.
• The magnetization curve showed how the material responded to magnetic fields.
• Demagnetization reversed the magnetization of the compass needle.
