Yes, we can see the use of iron oxide (the Fe2O3 kind, which is iron (III) oxide) used in magnets. There are a number of different things that could be used in a magnet, but simply using this material, often referred to as ferrite, and a little bit of some other materials to make up the ferrite, will allow for the construction of a magnet.

What is another name for magnetite?
The mineral magnetite is also known as lodestone, a name also used for pieces of the ore that are natural magnets. Magnetite consists of iron (II,III) oxide with the formula Fe3O4.
Is iron oxide a gas?
No, iron oxide is a solid.
What elements are in iron oxide?
We know that iron (Fe) and oxygen (O) make up iron oxide. (There is more than one oxide of iron, by the way.)
Iron oxide formula?
Iron II oxide: FeO Iron III oxide: Fe2O3
What is the ionic formula for iron oxide?
FeO for ferrous oxide, ( iron(II) oxide); Fe2O3 for ferric oxide, (iron(III) oxide) and Fe3O4 for ferrous ferric oxide, (iron (II,III) oxide)
Do magnets attach to rust?
Magnets are attracted to anything with iron in it. Rust is Iron Oxide, so yes!
What oxide consisting of iron and another metal such as nickel is used in making magnets and aerials?
Ferrite
How can you magnetize iron oxide?
It has been found that iron oxide can be magnetized if it is the right kind of iron oxide. We know that iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3) is magnetic, and it can be combined with just a little bit of other stuff to make ferrite, which is commonly used to make magnets.

Does rust change a magnets power of attraction?
yes.The iron oxide will change with aligned magentic quality in iron.
What is another word for iron-oxide?
Ferrous oxide is used by most scientists but iron oxide is also used.
Metal used in magnets?
iron
What happens when aluminium reacts with iron oxide and where is this reaction used?
Iron is formed with aluminium oxide. The reaction is used for welding iron (steel) components.
Why does iron rust but magnets don't?
Iron is composed of, as the name implies, metallic iron. This metal is prone to oxidation, which accounts for its tendency to rust. Rust chemically speaking, is hydrated iron(iii) oxide and iron (iii) oxide-hydroxide. Common household ferrite magnets, however, are not made of elemental iron metal. Instead, they consist of ceramic materials containing iron oxides. In these iron compounds, the iron has already been oxidized, so that it does not rust or react further.
Which materials can magnets be made from?
Iron, nickel, and cobalt are used to create permanent magnets.
What is used in the haber process?
its an iron catalyst (iron oxide)
What is ferrous oxide used for?
Iron(II) oxide, also known as ferrous oxide. ,Iron(II) oxide is used as a pigment. It is FDA-approved for use in cosmetics and it is used in some tattoo inks. thats all I know .
