The three elements effected by magnetism are Iron, Nickel, and Cobalt. Steel is a iron alloy.
Generally speaking, yes , steel is magnetic. But it should be noted that there are a number of steels that are not magnetic. In order to answer this question, you must first identify the type of steel. Steel can also be magnetized[or made to be magnetic] using an electric field.

∙ 12y agoYes. Magnets are attracted to Iron (Fe) as well as some other metals. Steel is an alloy of iron and many of these alloys, as in steel paper clips, attract magnets. However, some steels, like many stainless alloys do not attract magnets.

What is most likely to be attracted by a magnet?
Iron, nickel and some of their alloys are attracted to magnets (only some types of steel). Also, the oppositely charged poles of other magnets or electromagnets.
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.
Is shale attracted to magnets?
dont think so but not sure . . . . .
What can magnets pick up?
A 'tin can' is actually made of steel, which is a magnetic alloy of iron. There is sometimes a layer of tin (or zinc), electroplated onto the surface, so the name is misleading. It is more properly a 'tinned' can as it is a steel can which has been 'tinned' to stop it from corroding.
Is copper a magnetic material?
Cu is slightly diamagnetic -- has a small tendency to repel magnets, so no, not a magnetic material.
Is carbon steel attracted to magnets?
no carbon steel not attract to magnets
Is mercury attracted to magnets?
No its like steel metal
What type of metal does magnets stick to?
Iron and its alloys (e.g. steel) are attracted to magnets
What kind of metals are attracted to magnets or can be made into magnets?
Metals that are attracted by magnets or that can be turned into magnets are as follows: 1-iron 2-cobalt 3-nickel 4-steel (a compound not an element)
Do steel wire screen sticks to magnet?
Steel will stick to magnets, but stainless steel will not.
Is a nail attracted to a magnet?
Yes. Nails are usually made from iron or steel, which is attracted to magnets.
Which united state currency attracted to magnets?
1943 steel penny
Why is steel attracted to a magnet but not brass?
magnets attract steel why then is a compass needle affected by a pice of steel if the steel is not magnetised
Why do magnets stick to the refrigerater?
Because refrigerators are made of steel (iron) even though they have nice finish on the outside and magnets are attracted to steel (iron).
How do you know if an object is going to be attracted to a magnet?
Metals and other magnets are the only objects that are attracted to magnets. However, many metals are NOT attracted to magnets. Copper, stainless steel, brass, gold, silver, zinc, and aluminum are a few metals that are NOT attracted to magnets. The best way to discover if the object will be attracted to a magnet is to introduce it to a magnet.
Are metals strongly attracted to magnets?
Most metals are not attracted to magnets at all. Some are, like: Iron, Steel Stainless, Steel, Brass, Zinc, Copper, Bronze, Aluminum, Silver, Gold, Mercury, Nickel, & Magnesium.
Can scissors be attracted to a magnet?
That would depend on the material the scissors are made from. Quite often they are made from some steel alloy, which is indeed attracted by magnets.
