Isn't there inductive heating? It's conductive.



Yes, non ferromagnetic materials are still subject to some inductive heating due to eddy currents* but I have no feeling for how much.

*I've had the pleasure of being MRI'd a few times in a 4 Tesla research MRI (normal MRI's operate around 1.5T) and occasionally I would get nerve stimulation due to eddy currents set up in tissue. An interesting feeling!
