Several different metals can be used in magnets.
Iron is perhaps the most common metal used in permanent magnets, but alloys such as Alnico (Aluminum, Nickel, and Cobalt) can also make very strong permanent magnets.

Tungsten is a metal with a high melting point that is often used in incandescent lamps.
Mix of different metals and carbon and/or silicum in alloys
Generally by melting together the components of the alloy. Also by pressing and sintering the components, in powder metallurgy.

A silvery metal with the symbol Sm and atomic number 62. It is a member of the lanthanide series and has the oxidation state +3. It is used in alloys, ceramics, and magnets.
Cobalt is classified as a transition metal and they are located in groups 3 through 12. Cobalt can be used in the fields of magnets, ceramics, magnetic alloys and cobalt boats

Typically iron. When an electric current is passed through molten iron as it cools and solidifies, the iron molecules retain their field orientation. Even stronger magnets have been made using alloys of neodymium, iron, and boron.
alloys are a base metal with a little of a similar metal mixed into it to make them harder for everyday use and are used for structual purposes such as building

alloys are probably cheaper to make and stonger then an element or a simple metal. Alloys are easier to make. It is difficult to find a simple metal.
Alloys are used rather than pure metals in electrical heating devices since they have low electrical conductivity and also a low melting point. Usually the alloys don't have a single melting point; they have a range of melting points. The temperature at which melting begins is called the SOLIDUS and the temperature at which melting is complete is called the LIQUIDUS.Student
A rare-earth metal with the symbol Nd and atomic number 60. It is one of the most complex and reactive of the lanthanides, and has a silvery white appearance. It is used in magnets, alloys, and ceramics for various applications.
