(N/A) Pure iron is not used for making permanent magnets because it gets easily demagnetized.
$Alnico$,an alloy of iron,nickel,cobalt,and aluminum,is used for making permanent magnets.
Permanent magnets are made electrically by placing a ferromagnetic material (like $Alnico$) inside a solenoid and passing a strong direct current through the coil for a sufficient duration. The magnetic field produced by the solenoid aligns the magnetic domains within the material,resulting in a permanent magnet.
Two examples of electrical instruments that use permanent magnets are $electric$ $motors$ and $electric$ $bells$.
