[QUOTE="sylvester, post: 23530, member: 708"]Nickel is non ferrous because ferrous means iron. Hence the symbol Fe for iron. Nickel does not contain iron and is therefore not ferrous. Ferrous does not mean magnetic. The two other strongly magnetic metals are Nickel (Ni) and Cobalt (Co). Cobalt ain't one you'll come across often cos it's pretty rare and is a bluish silver metal.[/QUOTE]
