Which metals are magnetic?
Magnetic metals are whats known as 'Ferrous'. These metals contain enough iron content to become magnetic. Prime examples are Iron, Steel, Pig-Iron.iron.Further answerNickel, and cobalt are others. But the question is not very specific because it asks 'which metals'. Does this include steel, which is a mixture and is metallic?
Why isn't aluminum cans attracted to a magnets?
The copper atom and the atoms in brass alloys are not magnetic. Ferromagnetic materials, such as traditional iron bar magnets, are magnetic because the electrons in them naturally tend to align parallely. Only atoms with unfilled electron shells can be ferromagnetic. Copper, and brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc, are diamagnetic. This means they are effected negligibly by common magnetic fields because they have no permanent magnetic moment and a magnetic susceptibility less than zero. With a strong enough magnetic field, however, copper and brass can be repelled from the source of the magnetic field.

Why is pig iron called pig iron?
Definition of Pig Iron: The term was derived from the method of casting the bars of iron in depressions or moulds formed in the sand floor adjacent to a furnace. These were connected to a runner (known as a sow) and when filled with metal the runner and the numerous smaller moulds were supposed to resemble a litter of suckling pigs, hence the term pig iron.pig iron is called pig iron because due to it shape and molds. When the iron come out from its mold due to it contain % of carbon and it look black pigs, when it come out of it mold it look like pigs standing in a group so it is called pig iron. answered by vsp the king
