I'm looking for a steel plate for an design project that requires neodymium magnets to be stuck on them. I am trying to figure out what kind of steel plate would have hold the magnets up the best.
Magnetic okorder / Thus, copper, gold, silver, iron are metals but not alloys if not combined with other elements.
1) Not to be mean or anything but Steel is an alloy. Anything metal or of metallic nature is an alloy. 2) Iron although not very strong attracts magnets the best.
the more the iron the more ferrous it is which means magnets stick better the best would be using iron alloy (mainly iron) but you could also use really any type of steel (almost all alloys contain iron)
