Does aluminum attract to magnetism

Yes, but not very. Aluminium is paramagnetic, meaning it is very weakly attracted to a magnet. (Materials like iron that are strongly attracted to magnets are called ferromagnetic.)

The attraction between aluminium and a magnetic field is small enough that sensitive instrumentation is required to detect it. For all practical purposes, unless you're a scientist aluminium can be considered non-magnetic.

Is aluminum paramagnetic and what are its properties in relation to magnetism?

Yes, aluminum is paramagnetic, which means it is weakly attracted to magnetic fields. Its properties in relation to magnetism include being easily magnetized and demagnetized, having a low magnetic permeability, and not retaining magnetism once the magnetic field is removed.

The sure test of magnetism is the ability of a material to attract iron or other magnetic materials. If a material attracts iron, it is considered to be magnetic.


Do brass and aluminum make good magnets?

No, brass and aluminum do not make good magnets. Both materials are non-magnetic, meaning they cannot be magnetized or attract magnets. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, while aluminum is a pure metal, and neither exhibits magnetic properties. For effective magnetism, materials like iron, cobalt, or nickel are typically required.
