Why do steel and iron attract each other?
Metals can be magnetised which can produce an attractive force.
What metals attract a magnet to them?
Iron and alloys containing iron.Answer:Iron, nickel and cobalt and their alloys are the common metals that attract magnets. Also, the rare metals gadolinium, neodymium and samarium attract magnets.
What type of metals does a magnet repel?
Usually magnets attract any iron based metals. Magnets usually only attract or repel other magnets
What metals do magnets only attract?
Ferrous metals, such as: Iron (Fe) Cobalt (Co) and some alloys respond to magnetism. Aluminum responds to electromagnetic eddy currents.
What are the 5 metals that will attract to a magnet?
The only 3 elements that are magnetic are Iron, Nickel and Cobalt. Any other metals containing any of these elements (e.g. Steel contains Iron) will also be magnetic.
Why do steel and iron attract each other?
Metals can be magnetised which can produce an attractive force.
What metals attract magnet?
No metals can attract a magnet. Only magnets can attract metals. (Believe me there is a difference). However the most common examples of metals which magnets would be able to pick up are Iron and Steel (steel is an alloy of Iron and Carbon)
What metals will a magnet attract too?
Iron
What metals attract to scrapyard magnets?
Iron and alloys that contain iron.
Are there any metals that attract each other like magnets?
Magnetism is a condition of being, not a type of metal, and metals don't typically attract metals. Anything containing iron can become magnetized. All it takes is exposing it to a magnet or applying a DC current to a coil wrapped around it.
What metals attract a magnet to them?

What metals do magnets attract?
Normally iron, nickel, and cobalt.
What kind of metals does a magnet attract?
Ones that contain IRON
Is there a magnet only attract magnets?
all magnets attract ferrous metals (metals containing iron) and the opposite poles of another magnet.
Why magnets attract metals?
Actually, they only attract certain metals. The attraction for other metals is insignificant. For example, a magnet will strongly attract iron. The way this works is that the magnet induces magnetism in the iron. The iron has tiny areas - domains, I think they are called - of magnetism; an external magnetic field will make those domains align, at least partially.
What type of metals does a magnet repel?
Usually magnets attract any iron based metals. Magnets usually only attract or repel other magnets
What metal do magents attract?
Any kind of metal. ------------------------------ Magnets attract ferromagnetic metals, mainly iron and nickel, and their alloys. ------------------------------
