stainless steel guns

[where]

would regular metal detectors detect them?

would regular metal detectors detect them?

Why, whacha planning?

Woof!

 

[Saint Peter]

would regular metal detectors detect them?

Yes.






Damn Brits.

 

[Saint Peter]

And stainless steel asshooks would also get detected.

 

[Saint Peter]

Just in case you were curious or something.

Just in case you were curious or something.

What about stainless steel ass plugs?

 

[where]

I'm asking because stainless steel isn't really magnetic. So if that were the case and you had a SS gun, you could get it through a detector, right?

Oddly, they don't mind stainless steel toys.

Try carrying a spoon in your pocket.

well I'm not convinced by the argument, but someone I know is arguing that if you wear SS jewellery, then it doesn't trigger alarms in airports. Which seems stupid to me because then you could smuggle a SS gun or knife on board.

Die, now.

Someone is either dumb or playing you.

Stainless steel triggers airport detectors. If not, they're broken.

hmmm...

Re: Is stainless steel magnetic?
Generally the higher the nickel content the less magnetic.
All stainless steels will effect a compass but austenitic (300 series) won't stick to a magnet.

Re: Is stainless steel magnetic?
The 400 series stainless steel (martinsetic, e.g., 440C stainless) is generally magnetic, while the 300 series (austinetic, e.g., 304 and 316) is not.

Re: Is stainless steel magnetic?
i think i jumped the gun with my answer. considering this is a physics forum i think my reply should have been something like this:

yes, all materials are "magnetic", they all have atoms which have electric and magnetic fields as properties. the question is too general.

if you (the OP) is asking if you can have a magnet stick to stainless then for some stainless steels you need a very strong magnet while for other types of stainless a weak magnet will stick to it.

Re: Is stainless steel magnetic?
Iron has two crystal structures, ferrite which is magnetic and austenite which is not (it is paramagnetic, not ferromagnetic). So if your steel contains enough ferrite, it will be (ferro-)magnetic, if not, it won't. Note that martensite is "metastable" austenite, but with a deformation of the crystal structure, and apparently, it is also ferromagnetic.

Is stainless steel magnetic?

no need to be mean.

even wiki says it\s not very magnetic...

Come on, this is basic stuff.

Fuck off, you just made yourself look like a moron.

It's not. Or about as magnetic as copper, which is to say only vaguely. As are a lot of metals. But you won't get by a working airport detector with a loose coin in your pocket, not to mention a stainless steel gun or knife.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Stainless steel firearms have some carbon steel parts in them.


So do plastic frame firearms.


So, they all go *ping*

or just outright lying. Which was what I thought.

 

[Shagly]

I would prefer the special plastic or ceramic guns.

 

[coastal-boy]

Google "How do metal detectors work". It isn't about the metal being "magnetic". It is about whether the "metal" can conduct electricity

I love you too, baby.

which is what I said. But I have almost no experience of metal detectors because I hardly travel. My silver collar set one off in Oslo, but that could have been the surgical steel padlock.

So obviously a SS chain would set them off...
