Understanding the difference between ferrous and non-ferrous metals is important, whether or not the metal in your application is magnetic or not magnetic can make a huge difference to your application and ideas.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metals that naturally attract magnets are known as ferromagnetic metals; magnets will firmly stick to these metals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some metals, including iron, are referred to as magnetically soft because they become strong temporary magnets when a strong magnetic field is placed near them and then lose their magnetism when the magnet is removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other metals, such as rare-earth metals like samarium and neodymium and alloys of iron will maintain most of their magnetism even when they aren\u2019t in a magnetic field, which is why they are known as magnetically hard and make good permanent magnets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Ferrous Metals Attract Magnets?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Iron content is the main factor in deciding magnetic attractiveness in steel. The higher the iron content the more magnetic the steel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
