In article , David A. Webb says...

Even if some iron powder was added, it probably isn't considered
"ferrous".

Binders in this case often contain a large amount of
cobalt. While cobalt is magnetic (this may be what the
original poster was getting after?) it does not
qualify the material as being ferrous.
