[Fot] magnetized crankshaft

[DAVE HOGYE]

Hello Friends,
I discovered that one of the spare TR crankshafts I have is magnetized.  I acquired it years ago.  It has a fresh 10/10 regrind and it is a candidate for friend's rebuild.  I was knocking it's damaged flywheel dowel pin out when I noticed the drift stuck to the flange.  Can anyone shed some light on this?  The crank is being sent to a shop for cleaning, crack check and full inspection.  Perhaps the crank had been "magna"fluxed and not properly demagnetized afterward.  I don't think a magnetized crank would be good to use.  It would attract particles.
