Erm....Stainless steel is non-magnetic. :|
Erm....
- Ferritic stainless steel: This type of stainless steel is most likely to be magnetic.
- Martensitic stainless steel: This type of stainless steel can be magnetic depending on its composition and how it's processed.
- Austenitic stainless steel: This is the most common type of stainless steel and is usually not magnetic. However, non-magnetic grades can become magnetic after being worked on, such as bending, deep drawing, or forming into a tube.
- 420 and 430 grades: These stainless steel alloys are highly resistant to corrosion and carry a magnetic field.
- 316: This stainless steel is corrosion-resistant but non-magnetic.
