Magnetic alloy
A magnetic alloy is a combination of various metals from the periodic table such as ferrite that contains at least one of the three main magnetic elements: iron, nickel, or cobalt etc.. Such an alloy must contain but is not limited to one or more of these metals. Magnetic alloys have become common, especially in the form of steel, alnico, and permalloy. The strongest magnetic element is iron, which allows items made out of these alloys to attract to magnets.
