No. Aluminum (aluminium) is not a magnetic metal. To illustrate this, place a magnet on an aluminum soda can: it won't stick.
The main magnetic metals are iron and nickel. Practically all steel alloys (iron and carbon) are attracted to magnets.

Aluminium is a paramagnetic material and has not a permanent magnetization like a ferromagnetic material. Instead, Al only shows a weak magnetic moment in presence of an external magnetic field. When this external field is released, the Al loses his magnetism.
The reason is that the electronic configuration of Al is: [Ne] 3s2 3p1 and only has one unpaired electron in his outer electronic shell (the 3p1 electron). This lonely electron is not strongly coupled whit the unpaired electrons from its nearest atomic neighbours, like in a ferromagnet, and so it cannot sustain a permanent magnetic order.

∙ 12y agoThere are three strongly magnetic metals, iron, nickel, and cobalt, if an alloy of alumnium and one of these is made, then this has the potential to be magnetic.
But pure aluminum is not magnetic.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agono, aluminum is non ferrous (no iron) only iron will attract a magnettic field
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoNo. Aluminium is a non-ferrous metal, so therefore an aluminium alloy is also non-magnetic
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoNo, it is not a magnetic metal.

How is pure aluminum different from an alloy of aluminum?
Aluminum alloy has precipitates of alloying elements which improves the mechanical property of aluminum but pure aluminum is weak.
How does aluminum alloy AA 6061 react with DM water?
The aluminum alloy AA 6061 is not soluble in water at room temperature.
What does adding copper to aluminum create?
Aluminum alloy ... a stronger metal.
How are Alloy Wheels defined?
Alloy Wheels are automobile wheels which are made from an alloy of aluminum and magnesium.
What alloy is for lithe aluminum?
there could be several different lithium-aluminum alloys.
Is an aluminum and copper blend magnetic?
No. Neither aluminum nor copper has any magnetic property.
How is pure aluminum different from an alloy of aluminum?
Aluminum alloy has precipitates of alloying elements which improves the mechanical property of aluminum but pure aluminum is weak.
Is aluminum nail magnetic?
no, aluminum is not magnetic
Is aluminized steel magnetic?
No, there are alloys that are magnetic. They contain at least one of the three main magnetic elements (iron,nickel,cobalt). The most common magnetic alloy is steel, which is iron and carbon. Another magnetic alloy is alnico, which is composed of aluminum,nickel and cobalt. I hope this helps.
How do you you use the word alloy in a sentence?
An alloy typically refers to combining two (or more) different metals together to make a hybrid of the two. In a sentence: "The skin of the rocket was made out of a strong aluminum and steel alloy." Iron and nickel in the outer core form an alloy, or a mixture of metallic elements. The magnetic properties of stainless steel vary from alloy to alloy. The color is "white gold" but the alloy too soft, about as soft as silver. These plates are made of very strong aluminum alloy with corprene facings bonded to them. The Hindenburg 's latticework airframe was constructed of a lightweight alloy composed largely of aluminum and copper.
Why are aroplanes made from aluminum alloy rather than pure aluminum?
Pure aluminum is not strong enough as building material for airplanes. Alloy with Al are stronger.
Is alluminum magnetic?
Not aluminum is not magnetic.
How does aluminum alloy AA 6061 react with DM water?
The aluminum alloy AA 6061 is not soluble in water at room temperature.
What does adding copper to aluminum create?
Aluminum alloy ... a stronger metal.
Is aluminum atracted to magnets?
No. Aluminum is not magnetic.
How are Alloy Wheels defined?
Alloy Wheels are automobile wheels which are made from an alloy of aluminum and magnesium.
What alloy is for lithe aluminum?
there could be several different lithium-aluminum alloys.
