A Magnet Is Not a Metal Test: What Buyers Get Wrong About Non-Magnetic Alloys
Magnets do not sort metals into two camps. Base element and delivered temper decide the reading — here is the order buyers should screen material in.
Read articleFerrous Metals Magnetic Separator: Audit the Stream Before Sizing the Magnet
Why a ferrous metals magnetic separator can only recover the ferrous share of a mixed stream, and how to audit ferrous fraction and particle size first.
Read articleWhich Metals Don't Stick to a Magnet, and Why a Magnet Can't Name Them
Aluminum, copper, brass, bronze and austenitic 18/10 stainless don't stick to a magnet. The reason is phase, not the word metal — so treat it as a filter.
Read articleWhat Metals Will a Magnet Stick To? A Shop-Floor Snap Test Guide
A magnet sorts steel from aluminum or brass in moments, but stainless can hold the pull or ignore it. See how a shop-floor snap test works and where it stops guessing.
Read articleWhat Metals Do Not Stick to a Magnet? Trust Alloy and Temper, Not the Test
A no-stick magnet test can't tell 6061-T6 aluminum from 5052-H32, or brass from bronze. Learn why alloy + temper, not the magnet, selects the metal.
Read articleNon-Magnetic Metals: What a Magnet Rules Out and What It Can Never Confirm
A magnet reports absent ferromagnetic phases, not alloy identity. Why aluminum, copper grades and 18/10 stainless stay non-magnetic, and what the test can rule out.
Read articleThe Two Metals That Make Bronze: Copper and Tin
Bronze is made of copper and tin, not brass's copper-zinc mix. Here's why that matters for corrosion, wear, and alloy selection.
Read articleNon-Magnetic Metals: Which Alloys Pass the Magnet Test and What to Buy
Aluminum, brass, bronze and copper are the metals that don't stick to a magnet; choose among them by strength, corrosion and wear rather than by magnet result alone.
Read articleFerrous Metals Magnetic Separator Selection Starts with Your Material Stream
Choose a ferrous metals magnetic separator by material stream first, not magnet strength. This framework shows how to assess feed, set goals, and compare metrics.
Read articleThe Non-Magnetic Metals: What a Magnet Won't Pick Up
Aluminum, copper, brass, and bronze don't stick to magnets; austenitic stainless usually doesn't, but ferritic/martensitic grades do. Here's how to tell.
