- The alloy of manufacture is highly significant
- Clips made with different materials
Alloy type | Details |
Ferromagnetic | - Steel alloys – typically pre-1985 |
Non-ferromagnetic/Weakly ferromagnetic | - “Elgiloy”, “Phynox” (Nickel-Chromium-Cobalt) - Deflects weakly or not at all in low field magnet up to 0.6T - As field strength increases deflection and translational attraction increase - Maybe safe but considerable artefact – prefer 1.5T |
Titanium | - No deflection or translational attraction |
