Sure. Like aluminum? Most commercially available aluminum contains some other materials, but only accidental traces of iron, if any. Copper, silver, and gold, same story.

You mean 'alloys' not metals - no pure metal contains iron aside from iron itself as they are just elements as opposed to compounds.

Most metals are not magnetic. Only Iron Cobalt and Nickel are ferromagnetic at room temperature.

Ferromagnetism is a property not just of the chemical make-up of a material, but of its crystalline structure and microscopic organization. There are ferromagnetic metal alloys whose constituents are not themselves ferromagnetic, called Heusler alloys, named after Fritz Heusler. Conversely there are non-magnetic alloys, such as types of stainless steel, composed almost exclusively of ferromagnetic metals.

An alloy is a metal composed of two or more elements.

At least one of the elements in an alloy is a metallic element.

For example,

Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin.

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc.

Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. (Some steel alloys also contain a variety of other alloying elements).

While aluminum is an element, most "aluminum" parts use some aluminum alloy that is much stronger than pure aluminum.

Even polystyrene is much stronger than pure aluminum.

One example of a metal that is not attracted to a magnet is aluminum. This is because aluminum is a non-magnetic material and does not have magnetic properties like iron or steel.

Apart from the fact that most metals are magnetic, there are others that are not. Examples include tungsten, platinum and magnesium.

All elemental metals that are not iron do not contain iron. Iron is alloyed with other metals to make stronger and better construction materials.

Can a magnet and metal propel?

Magnets are most commonly made out of metal, so yes, two metal magnets can repel. But metals such as iron are attracted to magnets even if the metal itself is not magnetized. Iron is attracted to both poles of a magnet, and it can not be repelled by a magnet.


Why are strong magnets attracted to a door magnet in a bowl of water then three metal thumbtacks?

The strong magnet is attracted to the door magnet because opposite poles attract each other - the door magnet was likely oriented to attract the strong magnet. The metal thumbtacks are not attracted to the strong magnet because the magnetism of the thumbtacks is weaker compared to the door magnet.
