Tony,
     As you have seen from Brad's post there are quite a few type of "Stainless Steel"
The major groups are Austenitic (Non-magnetic) and Martensitic (Magnetic)

Austenitic stainless steels are usually in the 300 series and the Martensitic are in the
400 series of stainless steel.

Later,
Joe

There are something like 60 different grades of stainless steel,
differing primarily in their alloying materials.  Most contain
something like a 10 or 11% minimum quantity of chromium.  The more
common grades of stainless steel are listed at:
