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.
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.
How many kinds of magnets are they?
only one... but there are difrent shapes...
What is alnico made out of?
Alnico is an Alloy made of Aluminium, Nickel and Cobalt. Alnico is used to make Magnets.
What are the three elements combined to make the alloy used to make industrial magnets?
oxygen, plutonium, and uranium. hope this helps
What does a alnico magnet do?
I guess Al (aluminium), Ni (nickel) and Co (cobalt).
How do you use alloy in a scientific sentence?
A steel alloy that contains titanium can withstand greater temperatures. A special alloy is used for superconducting magnets.
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 element is used to make heating elements in toasters?
The most common alloy is the Swedish Kanthal (Fe, Cr,Al).
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.
What is used to make an alloy?
i think an alloy is just when you mix 2 types of metal
What is the main element used to make alloy wheels?
metallic element used as an alloy in wheels for classic cars
What is the difference between an alnico magnet and ferrite magnet?
The term alnico is derived from the names of three metals, aluminum, nickel, and cobalt, which can be used to make an alloy that has useful magnetic properties. Ferrite is a form of iron. Alnico magnets are more powerful and more expensive than ferrite magnets.
How do magnets work in telephone?
Magnets are used in telephones' speakers to make vibrations of air (sounds)
