yes, altogether is good
agree Dorene Cornwell : By contrast, on the other hand; lose their ferromagnetic properties entirely or altogether

Seeing that it's a separate sentence:

Just get rid of "A".

"in general", not "in generally", of course

agree Jack Doughty : Yes, in general. "Whereas" is a possible alternative to "while".

Thank you, Simon.
neutral Dorene Cornwell : Wjat is this "generally?" Either it happens or it doesn't happen. And if it doesn't happen, I assume there are some otehr weird conditions. This is PHYSCIS. Aren't the experiments supposed to be repeatable?

I would endeavor to explain what this "generally" is but believe that a dictionary definition must suffice. How about this: http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/generally ? A hint: "weid conditions" may account for "specific instances".

At the same time/While/Meanwhile ... altogether

"altogether" can also be placed at the very end of the phrase instead of in the middle

while...completely

And don't make it a separate sentence - just put a comma before the "while", like this:

The conductivity of steel, blah blah blah, can change by a factor of 6-8, while ferromagnetic materials completely lose their ferromagnetic properties blah blah blah.
