Why isn't aluminum cans attracted to a magnets?

The copper atom and the atoms in brass alloys are not magnetic. Ferromagnetic materials, such as traditional iron bar magnets, are magnetic because the electrons in them naturally tend to align parallely. Only atoms with unfilled electron shells can be ferromagnetic. Copper, and brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc, are diamagnetic. This means they are effected negligibly by common magnetic fields because they have no permanent magnetic moment and a magnetic susceptibility less than zero. With a strong enough magnetic field, however, copper and brass can be repelled from the source of the magnetic field.


What are the uses of iron ore?

Iron ore is primarily used in the production of steel. It is a key raw material in the manufacturing of steel products such as structural components, machinery, vehicles, and appliances. Additionally, iron ore is also used in the production of pig iron, which is further processed to make various iron and steel products.


Which metals are magnetic?

Magnetic metals are whats known as 'Ferrous'. These metals contain enough iron content to become magnetic. Prime examples are Iron, Steel, Pig-Iron.iron.Further answerNickel, and cobalt are others. But the question is not very specific because it asks 'which metals'. Does this include steel, which is a mixture and is metallic?


What is the key element that influences the properties of iron?

The key element that influences the properties of iron is carbon. The amount of carbon present in iron determines its strength, hardness, and ability to be shaped through heat treatment processes like quenching and tempering.

What are some examples of ferrous metals?

The word "Ferrous" derives from the Latin ferum meaning iron, so any metal containing iron is a ferrous metal. If Ferrous metals contain iron then this means that any metal that contains iron and is magnetic is a ferrous metals. Some examples of Ferrous metals are steel, stainless steel, and all types of iron such as wrought iron, cast iron, pig iron and some others. . . carbon steel . .mild steel . .

Why is pig iron called pig iron?

Definition of Pig Iron: The term was derived from the method of casting the bars of iron in depressions or moulds formed in the sand floor adjacent to a furnace. These were connected to a runner (known as a sow) and when filled with metal the runner and the numerous smaller moulds were supposed to resemble a litter of suckling pigs, hence the term pig iron.pig iron is called pig iron because due to it shape and molds. When the iron come out from its mold due to it contain % of carbon and it look black pigs, when it come out of it mold it look like pigs standing in a group so it is called pig iron. answered by vsp the king


Is cast iron a real iron?

Yes it is ferrous metal try using a magnet if you don't believe meThe main raw material for producing cast iron is pig iron, so yes, the chemical components of cast iron is almost as same as the irons you can see in daily life.Actually, most of iron parts and articles in industrial and civil uses should be made by casting process, so actually, they are cast iron articles.There are many different types of cast irons, such as white cast iron, grey cast iron, ductile iron, malleable cast iron.
