Quick answer: No. Use traceable material identification and appropriate verification. Magnetic response alone is an incomplete material test.
Can a magnet test prove the selected stainless grade?
Processing condition can influence magnetic behavior for some materials. A simple observation should not override certificate and lot records. If identity is uncertain, define a suitable verification method with the material or quality specialist.
A practical verification method
Compare traceability and the approved identification test rather than accepting or rejecting a lot from magnet response alone.
| Item | What to record | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Reference configuration | Part or assembly identity and drawing revision | Make comparisons traceable |
| Test conditions | Relevant position, direction and operating condition | Compare the same characteristic |
| Decision evidence | Compare traceability and the approved identification test rather than accepting or rejecting a lot from magnet response alone. | Resolve the specific question before approval |
Use the result in an engineering request
Describe the observed condition and the required function separately. Include the relevant drawing revision and your results from the check above. If an acceptance limit has not been established, identify it as an open design input rather than treating a successful trial as approval.
