Is Stainless Steel Magnetic?

We take a look into different steels and their magnetic properties. Are all steels that contain iron magnetic? The answer might surprise you!

The 304 bar stock is magnetic on the edges due to high plastic deformation which changes the internal structure of the steel (not austenitic any more) and makes it magnetic

[jpurrazzella]

Great, easy to understand explanation.

Ironically rnough, i was surfing the internet to selecg sheet metal for a magnetic use case, this answered my questions, thank you

[yadav-r]

Wow, that is insightful.
Sir, between Carbon steel and 430 steel, which one is ligher, as I intend to use them as metal poster.

430-grade stainless steel: for brackets in a BBQ will it be ok

[danc]

Is this ferromagnetic (430) stainless steel always actively pull/push magnetic like a magnet itself or will it only like passively react (and maybe temporarily remember) the magnetic field it was exposed to?

[ergbudster]

So, that explains why a magnet won't stick to my fridge!

i put some stainless clamps in my magnetic tray used for placing nuts and whatnot when your taking engines apart. so when i put all four in their they reacted slightly, they turned out, in unison, the heavier part of the clamp to the outside and was repelled by the lighter band to the center, and they wavered, as if their was something pushing them up, repelling them and they floated about a quartier inch above the magnetic below the steel bowl. now that was wierd. i had to do it a couple times, check if they were magnetized, but nope. if they were not stainless, i couldnt use them. was confused for a bit. but the effect of it was strange.

Which steel is used to manufacture loudspeaker chassis(pressed type)?

[Juampi]

I have a question, i just bought a cross and they told me that it was made of (i don't know how you say it in english, but here in Argentina is the steel used in tools that are used in hospitals for surgery, i think it is called surgical steel) stainless steel, and when i came home i tested it with a magnet and the cross stick to the magnet, besides it is heavier than other pieces of steel that i have, so, what material could it be made of, cause i don't have idea why the magnet stick to the piece, i thought steel wasn't magnetic and in this video it is magnetic so what could it be.

[KristofferMyhre-vb]

why does it become magnetic if you atomice it?

[patriciakelly]

Why be wary of stainless steel that’s not magnetic at all?

[paoloabril]

I dont understand. I see 2 (304 stainless sttel) 1 pieces no magnet with the piece and the another pieces it is magnetic...

So what is the mistery or conclusion?

[joshuareinanaranas]

All stainless steel that have iron will be rusty?

[winterwolf]

So, what does it mean of your pot is 304 not magnetic? Hard to find answers on this subject!!!

Does Neodyn mag on lithium ion batteries cause sparks or damage the battery? I messing around with the idea doing some parallel charging on weak Li-on 1865 recharge batteries.

[ToxicVaccines_HivHoax]

I bought a drinking cup on ebay and the item description says: it is stainless steel.

I put a neodymium magnet to it and it does not pull at all. And I became suspicious...

As far as I know magnets stick to stainless steel. So this cup must be some other material...

And this video shows that some stainless steel are not magnetic! 😳
You learn something new every day.

[honeybear]

Would you happen to know if steel and magnet can be fused together?

[patdunstan]

Does non magnetic also mean non conductive'

[glasshalfempty]

1:02 but that could not make any less sense....iron is magnetic....that's not a simple myth, it just makes sense. Wtf is going on here?! *sigh* I'm so confused, even after watching but....at least this makes it easier to identify scrap metals lol
