IS STAINLESS STEEL MAGNETIC? Stainless steel is widely renowned for being a strong and corrosion-resistant metal, but is stainless steel magnetic? This question is slightly more complex. The answer: it depends, because different grades of stainless steel have different magnetic qualities. Stainless steel does not,
Read more →CARBON STEEL VS. STAINLESS STEEL While there are hundreds of different grades of steel, generally these fall under two main categories: stainless steel and carbon steel. When embarking on a project requiring steel, ensuring you choose the right type is of the utmost importance. This blog will
