Invar can be used as magnetic core material, but there are better choices. Invar is alloyed for its thermal stability. It is iron with a good percentage of nickel. Remember that magnetic core material is usually laminated or is "powdered" in a way to electrically isolate the "bits" of core material so eddy currents will be reduced. A link is posted to the article on Invar put up by our friends at Wikipedia, where knowledge is free.
Yes, nitinol is a type of shape memory alloy made from nickel and titanium. It is not inherently magnetic but its properties may change depending on the specific composition and processing methods used to create the alloy.
Invar steel is used in applications that require low thermal expansion, such as precision instruments, clocks, and scientific devices. Its low coefficient of thermal expansion helps it maintain dimensional stability over a wide range of temperatures.
A steel wrench can be magnetic, but it depends on the type of steel used. Most wrenches are made from alloy steel, which can be magnetized if it contains iron. However, some stainless steels, which are often non-magnetic, may also be used in wrench manufacturing. Therefore, while many steel wrenches are magnetic, it’s not a universal characteristic.
Your silver chain contains nickel if it attracts to a magnet. That means the silver alloy is not sterling .925. It may be a lower grade silver alloy containing less pure silver. Or, it may be a silver colored base metal alloy that contains no real silver at all. Look for a quality stamp or hallmark for further verification of quality.
When a stronger ferromagnetic material is used for the core of an electromagnet, the strength of the magnetic field significantly increases. This is because a stronger ferromagnetic material has a higher magnetic permeability, allowing it to better concentrate and enhance the magnetic field generated by the electric current. As a result, the overall magnetic field strength is amplified, making the electromagnet more effective in its applications.
There are invar missiles.
Invar (a special iron - nickel alloy) is used in pendulam instead of aluminium ,in order to decrease the expansivity.
An inver alloy has been known as a material having a small coefficient of linear thermal expansion. For example, a Fe64Co36 alloy, a Fe66Co34 alloy and a Fe73Co27 alloy are well known as the inver alloys. By employing the inver alloy as a magnetic pole of the recording head, the projection length of the magnetic pole can be reduce to one-tenth of the projection length of the conventional magnetic pole made of the Fe70Co30 alloy. However, saturation magnetization of the inver alloys are very small, e.g., 1.0 T, and their soft magnetic characteristics are insufficient, so they have not been used for magnetic poles

Nickel is magnetic, but the nickel used in coins is a specific alloy that is non-magnetic. United States nickels are made of a combination of nickel and copper, making them non-magnetic.
Invar is often used to make accurate technical instruments for hot situations because it has a very low thermal expansion coefficient, meaning it does not expand or contract much with temperature changes. This stability helps maintain the precision and accuracy of the instruments even in high-temperature environments where other materials might deform or lose calibration.
Hard disk platters are commonly made of a magnetic material called cobalt alloy or aluminum alloy.
Soft iron is used as the core of an electromagnet because it can easily magnetize and demagnetize, enhancing the magnetic strength. It has high magnetic permeability, allowing magnetic fields to pass through easily and concentrate, increasing the overall magnetic ability of the electromagnet.
No, white gold is not magnetic. The alloy used to create white gold typically contains gold, along with other metals such as nickel, palladium, or silver, none of which are magnetic.
Iron
This has got to do with the amount of Chrome in the alloy used to make the revolver. With a lot of chrome in the alloy, the bonds between chrome and iron would not allow for magnetic interaction. Most stainless steel is magnetic though if one just applies a strong enough magnetic force. regards.
