Cobalt is ferromagnetic, but considerably less so than iron. Alloys of cobalt such as aluminium, nickel, cobalt and iron, known as Alnico, and of samarium and cobalt (samarium-cobalt magnet) are commonly used to make high quality permanent magnets.

Yes. Cobalt has ferromagnetic properties, and it is used in the preparation of magnetic, wear-resistant, and high-strength alloys.

It shouldn't be under normal circumstances, unless it has undergone a ferromagnetic process.

Yes. Nickel, iron and cobalt are the only elements to be attracted to magnets under normal circumstances.
