Most metals are NOT magnetic; Iron, Steel (Contains Iron in it), Nickel and Cobalt are the only magnetic materials. Nearly ALL metals are electrical conductors, however, so don't get it mixed up.

What types of metal can't a scrap heap magnet move?
non magnetic metals. the only magnetic ones are nickel, cobalt and iron.
Are some nonmetals magnetic?
all non metals are nonmagnetic not all non metals are non magnetic, there is a certain nonmetal that is magnetic but i am not really sure what is it.
How are magnetic metals useful?
Magnetic materials have been used in electric motors, door latches and medical equipment to see if people have any disease inside them
Are all magnetic materials good conductor of electricity?
all conductor of electricity are magnetic substance. if no,state your reason
Why are some materials magnetic and others are non-magnetic?
Almost all magnetism is caused by electrons.Individual electrons have an intrinsic magnetic moment.In an atom, the electron's angular motion around the nucleus also causes a magnetic moment.Since all solid materials are composed of atoms and include electrons, the question becomes: why aren't all materials magnetic?Many atoms only have paired electrons, with the intrinsic magnetic moment of each electron cancelled out by the intrinsic magnetic moment of its paired electron.Many atoms only have "filled sub-shells", which have zero net angular motion.Atoms with either unpaired electrons, or unfilled sub-shells, or both, are inherently magnetic. However, in many materials, the magnetic moments of these atoms point in random directions, so they cancel out and the bulk material is nonmagnetic.It is to do with the pairing of electrons and their dipoles. Basically metals with uneven electrons or half shells are magnetic. Three main metals that are Iron, Cobolt and Nickel. With Iron being the main one.Hope this helps! =]
How do scrap yards separate metals from non magnetic metals?
They use electromagnets to separate magnetic metals from non-magnetic metals/materials in scrapyards.
Are metals all magnetic?
NOT all metals are magnetic
Explain why eddy current testing can be carried out on all the metals whereas magnetic particle testing can only be carried out on ferromagnetic materials?
Eddy current testing can be carried out on all the metals provided the metals should be able to conduct the current. No need that it should have magnetic property. Magnetic praticle testing can be carried out only on ferromagentic materials since it works on magnetic permeabiltiy principle. Materials which has poor magnetic permeability is not able to test with MPI. This is very simple answer.
Are all metals magnetic and non metals are non magnetic?
Only actually 3 metals are magnetic, Iron, Nickel, and Cobalt, so not all metals have a magnetic quality
What materials are magnetic?
I added a great related link below that will answer your question plus any others you may have.
What are the 2 common materials that are magnetic?
Iron and nickel are the most common magnetic metals and are the most abundant. Other magnetic metals include cobalt, gadolinium, neodymium and samarium.

Is all steel magnetic?
Most Steel Alloys are magnetic, but stainless steel is non magnetic
Is die-cast magnetic?
No, die cast materials are non-ferrous. Only ferrous metals can be magnetic
Are nonmetals magnetic?
all non metals are nonmagnetic not all non metals are non magnetic, there is a certain nonmetal that is magnetic but i am not really sure what is it.
How do magnets behave?
Magnets are made from magnetic materials. These are metals that can be magnetised or will be attracted to a magnet. Most materials are not magnetic, but iron, cobalt and nickelare magnetic. Steel is mostly iron, so steel is magnetic too.
Are some nonmetals magnetic?
all non metals are nonmagnetic not all non metals are non magnetic, there is a certain nonmetal that is magnetic but i am not really sure what is it.
