MAGNETIC MATERIAL

Magnetic Materials: Substances which are attracted by a magnet are called Magnetic Materials

Magnetic Material List

As magnetic materials, iron, steel and some of their alloys possess certain magnetic properties but these, as magnetic materials are far inferior to iron and steel. 

Some alloys of iron, such as Permalloy (80% nickle and 20% iron) and Alnico (an alloy of aluminium-nickle-cobalt) are well known examples of materials having High Permeability, (i.e., property of receiving and allowing passage to magnetic lines of force).
