The elements cobalt, nickel and iron are all magnetic. Most alloys containing at least one of these three elements will be magnetic. For example stainless steel is very magnetic. However alloys not containing these elements is most likely not magnetic.

Will a magnet stick to alloy?

Whether a magnet will stick to an alloy depends on its composition. Alloys that contain ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, cobalt, or nickel, can be attracted to magnets. However, non-ferromagnetic alloys, like aluminum or certain stainless steels, will not be attracted to magnets. Thus, the magnetic properties of the specific alloy determine if a magnet will stick to it.
