What 3 metals can stick to a magnet?

Many alloys of cobalt, nickel, and iron (such as steel), can be magnetic, depending on their composition and temperature. Some rare-earth elements such as samarium and neodymium are used in magnetic alloys, and NdFeB magnets (neodymium, iron, and boron alloy) are the strongest of permanent magnets.
