Read articleWhich Metals Refuse a Magnet? A Field Guide to Non-Magnetic Metals
Learn why aluminum, copper, brass, bronze, and 304 stainless steel don't attract magnets, and how to verify materials with MTR certificates instead of a fridge magnet.
Read articleNon-Magnetic Metals: What Doesn't Stick and Why That's Normal
Which metals don't stick to a magnet? Aluminum, copper, brass, bronze, and stainless steel. Learn why non-magnetic is normal and how to choose by properties.
Read articleThe Metals That Answer a Magnet: A Practical Field Guide
A magnet stick test reveals whether a metal contains iron, nickel, or cobalt. Learn which stainless pans work on induction and which alloys never attract.
Read articleMetal Selection for Magnetic Separator Projects: Alloy, Temper, and Load
Weigh corrosion, formability, and wear before choosing aluminum or red metals for separator parts. A practical rule ties alloy and temper to your exact load.
Read articleThe Magnet Test: A Practical Guide to Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals
A magnet sticks to iron, nickel, cobalt, and most steel; not to aluminum, copper, brass, bronze, or 18/10 stainless. Use it to sort metals.
Read articleWhich Metals Won't Stick to a Magnet? A Buyer's Shortlist of Non-Magnetic Alloys
Only iron, nickel, and cobalt stick to magnets. Aluminum, copper, brass, bronze, and austenitic stainless don't. But stainless can be tricky: verify the alloy family, grade, and processing history before you order.
