Steel cans are separated from aluminium cans using a magnet before they are recycled. Why must the cans be separated?
Aluminium reacts with steel when the two metals are heated
Steel is magnetic and so it cannot be melted with aluminium
The two metals have the same melting point when they are mixed
Each metal must be pure enough for the properties needed
