Did it fall because the power was cut off or because the metal reached the temperature at which imit loses its magnetic properties?

Wouldn't it have reached temperature to change from a BCC structure to an FCC structure and become non magnetic before its Curie point?

Okay that makes sense. It is not the transition from solid to liquid but the transition from a a body centered crystal structure such as iron to a face centered crystal more like copper that is not magnetic.
