magnetic materials
Stick to refrigerators
Magnetic materials are substances that respond to magnetic fields—either by being attracted to magnets, being repelled, or becoming magnetized themselves.
Iron, nickel, and cobalt are the classic examples, along with their alloys.
The term encompasses everything from refrigerator magnets to the specialized compounds used in hard drives and electric motors.
The engineer selected magnetic materials that would retain their properties at high temperatures.
