How to identify an unknown ss grade? Characteristics: Slightly greyer than 304, for example. Machinability as good, as on mild steel. When machining, it gives faint smell of sulphur. I luckily got some pieces from scrap yard. At first I thought it was mild steel, but closer inspection revealed, that there wasn't any rust layers, that I expected. Any info is welcome. It sure is a material, that I'd like to have more. Hopefully it doesn't turn out to be too expensive for me :scratch:. |

Is it magnetic? Some are, some aren't so much. |

Yes, quick testing showed that it has approximately same level of magnetism as mild steel. |
