Is Stainless Steel Magnetic

stainless steel grades 304 316 430 410 2205 with hand magnet on workbench

The answer depends on the grade — not all stainless steel behaves the same way around a magnet. Some grades attract magnets strongly. Others show almost no response at all. And some grades that start as non-magnetic can develop a magnetic response after CNC machining, bending, or cold working. This guide gives you the grade-level […]

Is Graphite Magnetic?

Graphite isn’t magnetic like iron; it’s diamagnetic and weakly repulsive in practice. That sounds simple, yet many people “prove” graphite is magnetic by testing pencil lead. The problem is contamination and setup: iron dust on a bench, steel debris on a magnet, or clay/binders in pencil cores can create a misleading pull and a lot
