[QUOTE="headbut, post: 60757, member: 569"] Ferrous metals are alloys of iron, and they usually stick to a magnet BUT a common misconception is that steel is the only metal that attracts a magnet; This mistake can be an expensive one. There are actually 3 (THREE) common elements that pull to a magnet, and those are iron, nickel, and cobalt. (there are some others, but they are mostly rare earth metals. For example, gadolinium) [/QUOTE]
