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.

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?

Iron oxide lodestone?

Iron oxide lodestone, also known as magnetite, is a naturally occurring magnetic mineral. It has the property of being attracted to magnets and is often used in compasses for navigation. Iron oxide lodestone has been used historically in various cultures for its purported healing properties and as a tool for divination.


Does rust change a magnets power of attraction?

yes.The iron oxide will change with aligned magentic quality in iron.


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.


What is another word for iron-oxide?

Ferrous oxide is used by most scientists but iron oxide is also used.


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.


Metal used in magnets?

What is the origin of magnets and where do magnets come from?

Magnets occur naturally in certain rocks, such as lodestone, which was discovered by the ancient Greeks. These rocks contain iron oxide, which gives them magnetic properties. Magnets can also be created artificially by aligning the magnetic domains in a material, such as iron or steel, through processes like magnetization.


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.


What is the difference between red iron oxide and black iron oxide?

Red iron oxide is a reddish-brown pigment that is commonly used in paints and pigments, while black iron oxide is a black pigment that is also used in various applications like coloring concrete, plastics, and ceramics. The difference lies in their chemical composition, with red iron oxide containing higher levels of iron compared to black iron oxide.
