What about a spot welder, hooked up to a fat coil of copper tube on a
magnetic core?
The spot welders I'm familiar with are all AC, so they'll only magnetize as deeply
as the field-penetration-distance after one half cycle (if you can time it so a full
half-cycle is the end of the conduction). That won't usually be enough for magnetization
of a sizeable lump.
If you could spin the lump, so that the lump turns 180 degrees WITH the AC
reversal, it'd be a possibility.
