What materials are used to make magnets?

The most common permanent magnets are: neodymium magnets, which are composed of neodymium, iron and boron; Samarium Cobalt magnets, which are composed of samarium, cobalt and iron; and ceramic magnets. Here is a link to information about the first 2 which are called rare earth magnets.


What is someone who studies magnets called?

A magnetometer is a device used to measure the intensity and direction of a magnetic field.


How are magnets used in child's toys?

You put them in the toy for the child to stick the toy to metal objects... magnets are the same no matter what you put them in, even avocados.


What metal is magnetic?

The most common magnetic metals are iron, cobalt, and nickel. These metals exhibit strong magnetic properties and are often used in various applications requiring magnets.


Where is ball - ended magnets used?

A Ball-ended magnet is a magnet,whose last part has two ball like magnetized component.It is mainly found in China and East Europe.It is mainly used for the devlopment of sciences.It is a main part for a mathematician and ecologist.A Navigator used to find directions using a compass and master.Ball magnets are made of neodymium a rare earth magnet. The ball magnets are very strong and can be twisted and used to form different patterns and shapes.Neodymium is a chemical element with the symbol Nd and atomic number 60. It is a rare earth metal that has a silvery metallic shine. Neodymium is very strong and is used to make high strength magnets. Neodymium is used for many other industrial purposes.

What is the element that is used to make permanent magnets and United States coins?

The element used to make permanent magnets and United States coins is iron. Permanent magnets are typically made from alloys of iron, while United States coins are primarily made of copper with a small amount of nickel (nickel-copper alloy).


What metal is used in low melting alloys and magnets?

Several different metals can be used in magnets. Iron is perhaps the most common metal used in permanent magnets, but alloys such as Alnico (Aluminum, Nickel, and Cobalt) can also make very strong permanent magnets.


Is the element nickel found in magnets?

Nickel is a ferromagnetic material, like iron and cobalt, so quite a few magnets have nickel in them. Nickel shows strong magnetic properties up to 355°C (671°F).Nickel is also a major constituent of Alnico, which is an alloy of Aluminum, Nickel and Cobalt. This alloy is widely used in magnets. Alnico magnets are found in industrial and consumer applications where strong permanent magnets are needed like in electric motors, guitar pickups, microphones, sensors, loudspeakers, etc.If not used directly in the magnet, Nickel is often used to plate magnets. Some common Nickel-plated magnets include Alnicos, Samarium Cobalt, and Neodymium Iron Boron


What is the alloy used to make imitation gold?

One common alloy used to make imitation gold is brass, which is a combination of copper and zinc. Another alloy used is bronze, made from copper and tin. These alloys can mimic the appearance of gold at a lower cost.


Is gold used in magnets?

Gold is not typically used in magnets. The most common materials used in magnets are iron, nickel, and cobalt, due to their magnetic properties. Gold is not inherently magnetic, so it is not a practical material for use in magnets.


What element is used to make heating elements in toasters?

Which three metals are present in alnico?

Alnico used for magnets is primarily iron, nickel, cobalt, and aluminum. Since it is magnetic, you know that there is iron in the alloy (~45% by weight). The name comes from the other elements that make up the alloy AlNiCo as in aluminum (Al), nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co). Copper and titanium are present in much smaller quantities as well as other proprietary additions. Non-metals are present in the alloy like sulfur.The alnico quasicrystal is primarily aluminum nickel and cobalt. This alnico is not used for permanent magnets.
