Beware of stainless steel traps, many consumers are deceived

Beware of stainless steel traps, many consumers are deceived
There has been a misunderstanding that stainless steel is non-magnetic, and those that are magnetic are not stainless steel. However, this concept is not entirely accurate.

Some savvy salesmen will take advantage of this misunderstanding and use magnets to prove that they are selling stainless steel. But in fact, they may be selling stainless iron, a product that is secondary processed by recycling scrap iron, lead, steel and other materials and demagnetized.

Since stainless iron is similar to stainless steel in appearance and relatively low in price, it can often deceive many engineering material selectors. Therefore, stainless iron can enter many decoration sites and luxury curtain wall projects openly.

Before the relevant exposure, stainless iron even occupied about 65% of the market share, while real austenitic stainless steel was difficult to gain market recognition due to its high price.

It is worth noting that there are many types of stainless steel, and not all stainless steel is non-magnetic. In fact, only austenitic stainless steel has non-magnetic or weak magnetism. Therefore, if you want to verify the authenticity of stainless steel, the most accurate way is to detect its composition. This process is not complicated. You can easily obtain the composition information by simply using relevant instruments for irradiation.
