Is Stainless Steel Ferrous Or Non-ferrous?

Stainless steel is a ferrous metal as it contains iron.

 

Ferrous metals mostly contain Iron. They have small amounts of other metals or elements added, to give the required properties.  Ferrous metals are magnetic and give little resistance to corrosion.

 

Non-ferrous metals are specified for structural applications requiring reduced weight, higher strength, non-magnetic properties, higher melting points, or resistance to chemical and atmospheric corrosion. They are also specified for electrical and electronic applications.
