Metal Recycling Center 317-244-0700<\/p><\/div>Metals can be put into one of two categories: Ferrous and non-ferrous metal. Ferrous metals are those that contain traces of iron. In fact, the term \u201cferrous\u201d literally means \u201cof or contain iron.\u201d And with this being said, you can correctly assume that \u201cnon-ferrous\u201d means there is no iron content present within a metal. We mention these facts because it helps to remember which metals are magnetic and which are not. You see, there are numerous types of metal that have magnetic properties, so long as they contain one or more of the metals listed below.<\/p>\n
Magnetic Metals<\/h1>\n
\u2022\tIron So this means that any metal that contains iron, cobalt, nickel, or a metal mixture that contains one of the three, is a ferrous metal, and also, magnetic. These metals are \u201cferromagnetic<\/em>\u201d or \u201cferrimagnetic<\/em>\u201d materials. Their magnetic capabilities and properties are strong enough for them to be considered ferromagnetic. A naturally-occurring magnetic mineral, used in the early days of compass manufacturing, is called lodestone. It is the only natural magnet. <\/p>\n Even electromagnetism, which sends electrical currents through coils, uses ferromagnetic materials to produce magnetic fields. For example, coils are often wrapped around steel or other ferromagnetic material. These coils are only magnetic when an electrical current is sent through them. The steel center allows for a stronger magnetic field. This technology is used prevalently in engines and turbines, as well as, a means to produce electricity. <\/p>\n It is important to preserve our natural resources the best we can, and metal recycling is a great way to achieve this! Magnetic metals, just like all other metals, are 100% recyclable. They can be smelted, melted, or reused in various industries all over the world.
