This has got to do with the amount of Chrome in the alloy used to make the revolver.

With a lot of chrome in the alloy, the bonds between chrome and iron would not allow for magnetic interaction.

Most stainless steel is magnetic though if one just applies a strong enough magnetic force.

How can you tell the difference between ALUMNIUM and stainless steel?

Grab a small magnet. It will stick to stainless steel - it won't stick to aluminum.


Which electrode is used to weld stainless steel to carbon steel?

It depends on the type of stainless steel. Stainless steels come in various compositions and are identified by numbers and letters. Electrodes should be chosen that match these. For example when welding 316 stainless use type 316 electrodes. In a lot of situations you can safely use the next higher number. 304 stainless can be welded with 308 electrodes, 308 stainless with 310 electrodes. 309 electrodes are generally used to weld stainless to carbon steel.


What is the difference between stainless steel and real stainless steel in refrigerators?

Well, the answer lies in the question; by saying 'real' stainless steel, you are implying that there are fake metals which go under the name 'stainless steel', thus the difference is that the stainless steel in refigerators is actually stainless steel, and the fake stainless steel is not...thus your question is answered...

Will magnets stick to kitchenaid stainless steel refrigerator?

Magnets are made up of ferromagnetic materials (iron, nickel, cobalt, neodymium alloys, etc.) or even semipermanent magnets. Each of these has a material that has some degree of magnetic permanence, where the spins of the electrons in the substance all align to generate a magnetic field. Refrigerators are made up of ferrous materials, to which magnets can stick, due to magnetic attraction.
