yes, generally stainless steel is magnetic


Can magnets be put on a stainless steel refrigerator?

Yes, magnets can typically be put on a stainless steel refrigerator. However, not all stainless steel is magnetic, so it would depend on the specific alloy used to make the refrigerator. If the stainless steel refrigerator is magnetic, magnets will stick to it.


Why does a magnet stick to stainless steel or to steel?

In general, magnets will stick to steel. There are many stainless alloy steels that are non-magnetic, however. Most stainless steels have a metallic crystal structure that gives them few or no magnetic properties.

Will an earth magnet stick to stainless steel?

There are no special types of magnetic field - the shape and strength of the field may vary, but the fundamental quality of the field is the same. The reason why stainless steel is not picked up by a magnet is that stainless steels are mostly not ferromagnetic, and therefore have no strong interaction with a magnetic field. Although paramagnetic and diamagnetic materials do interact with this field, it is very weak; nowhere near enough to lift the weight of the material.


Will a magnet stick to steel wool brillo?

Yes, a magnet will stick to steel wool, including Brillo pads, because they are made from steel, which is a ferromagnetic material. When exposed to a magnetic field, the iron in the steel wool is attracted to the magnet, allowing it to stick.


If a person had a metal plate in their head would a magnet stick to it?

It depends on the composition of the metal plate. Magnetic materials like iron or cobalt would make the metal plate magnetic and attract a magnet. However, non-magnetic metals like titanium or stainless steel would not attract a magnet.
