Use a magnet. Magnets stick to steel but don't stick to aluminum. Stainless is very weakly magnetic at best. Best to identify aluminum from stainless by weight (aluminum is much lighter) or by hardness (aluminum is much softer; scratches more easily). ***************** Though magnet test can show the difference between magnetic steel and aluminum, it cannot show the difference between non-magnetic steel and aluminum. In this case you can tell the difference by 1. weight , since aluminum has density 2700 kg/m3 and steel (magnetic or not) 7500 2. hardness, using a knife or something similar, since aluminum is softer than steel

How do you tell if a sign plaque is brushed aluminum or brushed stainless steel?
It is very hard to tell for the non-trained eye. aluminum is very slightly lighter in hue than steel, which in turn has a dark grey hue. With the pass of time aluminum will get powdery white meanwhile steel will retain its tone, in the outdoors(5 to 7 years) this is, ...indoors there is no significant difference. Steel will show fingerprints easier and is harder to clean. In conclusion there is no significant difference between the two, unlees they are outdoors, after several years have past.
