Many alloys of cobalt, nickel, and iron (such as steel), can be magnetic, depending on their composition and temperature. Some rare-earth elements such as samarium and neodymium are used in magnetic alloys, and NdFeB magnets (neodymium, iron, and boron alloy) are the strongest of permanent magnets.

How a magnet could be used to separate different types of metals at a recycling centre?
A magnet can be used to separate ferrous metals (containing iron) from non-ferrous metals. When the magnet is passed over a mixture of metals, the ferrous metals will be attracted to the magnet and can be easily separated out. Non-ferrous metals, which are not magnetic, will not be affected by the magnet and remain in the mixture.
Will mercury metal stick to magnet?
No. Only ferrous metals are magnetic and are solid at room temperature. In order for a metal to "stick" to a magnet it would have to have its atoms aligned in the same direction. When in liquid form the atoms are too busy moving around to actually align themselves to a magnetic field.
Will brass or bronze stick to a magnet?
No. It isn't because it hasn't the correct domains.no, only nickel, cobalt, steel and iron are magnetic materials
Will a magnet sick to sterling silver?
No, sterling silver is not magnetic, so a magnet will not stick to it. If a magnet does stick to an item labeled as sterling silver, it may indicate the presence of other materials or impurities in the metal.
Does a magnet stick to zinc?
No. Only to iron and other ferromagnetic materials. Or if you form the aluminum into a coil and pass a current through it, then you have an electromagnet, which would be attracted to a magnet.
What materials can a magnet stick to?
Materials which contain iron, generally. These metals that work with a magnet are generally called "Ferrous" metals
What kind of necklace will not stick to magnet?
A necklace made of materials such as gold, silver, or stainless steel will not stick to a magnet because these metals are not magnetic. Magnetic materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt will stick to a magnet.
Will sterling silver stick to a magnet?
No, sterling silver is not magnetic and will not stick to a magnet. If the item in question is attracted to the magnet, it likely contains iron or other magnetic metals.
Does a penny stick to a magnet?
No, pennies are made from a combination of metals that are not magnetic, such as copper and zinc. Therefore, a penny will not stick to a magnet.
Will metal stick to a magnet?
Metal materials containing iron, nickel, or cobalt will stick to a magnet due to their magnetic properties. Other metals like aluminum, copper, and gold are not magnetic and will not stick to a magnet.
If you have gold with no karat markings will it stick to a magnet?
Gold, of any carat weight will not stick to a magnet. Only ferrous metals will stick to a magnet. Gold, aluminum, brass and copper are a few types of non-ferrous metals,and will not stick to a magnet. If your gold sticks to a magnet it is gold plated ferrous metal.
What ae the different types of meatls?
There are many types of metals you get ferrous and non ferrous metals. A magnet will stick to ferrous metals such as iron and steel but wont stick to non ferrous metals like copper or alluminium.
What is in a magnet that makes it stick to metal?
The magnets both have very strong energy there for connecting boths magnitude
Does real gold or silver stick to a magnet?
No, real gold and real silver are not magnetic and do not stick to a magnet. This is because they are non-ferrous metals, which means they do not contain significant amounts of iron.
Will a magnet stick to a 1875 trade dollar?
No because they contain no magnetic materials.
What does a magnet need inside it that allows it to stick to other things?
A magnet is just that, a magnet. It is a piece of magnetized metal that attracts certain other metals. Difficult to explain, really...
Will a white gold ring stick to a magnet?
No, white gold is not magnetic so a white gold ring will not stick to a magnet. It is composed of gold, alloyed with white metals like nickel or palladium, which are not magnetic.
