No. Iron (Fe = ferrous), is a totally different element.

Why does an iron nail has more force of attraction than a piece of chalk and rubber band?
Because they have different magnetic properties; iron is strongly ferromagnetic.
Is aluminium a noble gas or a transition metal?
Neither. Aluminium is a group 13 metal or a main group metal.
Is aluminium is metal?
Aluminium is generally considered as a metal, but it shows some properties of metalloid also.
Is alumium a metal?
Yes. Aluminium is a metal
Is magnetism a physical property of iron?
Yes, iron is a ferromagnetic metal.

What metal makes powerful magnets?
Really powerful magnets are alloys or in some cases not even metals (they're minerals like metal oxides). Iron is one of the better "pure" metals.In alloy or oxide magnets, the metals themselves don't even have to be ferromagnetic; an alloy of aluminium, cobalt, and iron was discovered in 1931 to make far better magnets than iron itself did, even though aluminium is not ferromagnetic at all.

What metal is good for magnetic shielding?
ferromagnetic materials

What type or metal is aluminium?
it is a pure metal but it can be a ferrous metal.
Is magnetism a physical property of iron?
Yes, iron is a ferromagnetic metal.
Why is Fe attracted towards the magnet?
Because iron is a ferromagnetic metal.
Can you magnetize a bit of metal that is not a magnetic type of metal?
Generally, no you can't. A ferromagnetic material has what are called magnetic domains within it. These domains are effectively "tiny magnets" and are randomly arranged when they are in non-magnetized ferromagnetic metals. We can align them and make the material magnetic with the right equipment. A bit of metal that is not ferromagnetic has to domains to realign, so it can't be magnetized.
Aluminum metal or nonmetal?
Aluminium is a metal. It belongs to group 13.
