Hypoeutectic "iron" is an alloy that precipitates in the austenite phase which has a Curie temperature below ambient. The alloy components are similar to those in a 300 series stainless steel which are also austenitic. If a material is above its Curie point it cannot maintain separate magnetic domains and thus the dipoles cannot align.
Translation: it's not magnetic.
I don't buy the blather about its advantages but then I don't buy any of what OMA is spruiking.
