"Magnetism is the class of physical attributes that occur through a magnetic field, which allows objects to attract or repel each other."
Aluminum is repelled by a strong magnetic field, hence the use of ECS, plastic is not. Aluminum is not Ferro-magentic it does however seem to be magnetic depending on the definition.

The article itself on contradictory showing aluminium as nonmagnetic then classifying as paramagnetic, which is a type of magentisim, which is it?

- ianburrell 2y agoFrom the article: "Usually, when people talk about “magnetic metals,” they’re talking about ferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic metals." Ferromagnetic and paramagnetic materials behave differently. One sticks to a magnet, the other is slowed by a magnet.
- SigmundA 2y agoSo yes they are both magnetic, thanks.
