<div dir="ltr">Sorry Alex,<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">You may want to do some fact checking. There is no grade for "solid stainless steel".<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I do not believe a stainless-steel plating exists for plating over mild steel technology exists a of<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">yet. Plating is electrolysis, and the mild steel will only attract specific molecules similar to<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">mild steel. You can copper plate mild steel because there are similar molecules, when then allows<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">either chromium to be plated or for triple plate, nickel plate and then chromium.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Stainless steel comes in different grades, some grades of stainless steel are indeed magnetic<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">depending on the amount of ferric used in the recipe. <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Stainless comes in dozens of different types and chemical compositions selected for its application<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">and environment use. Just because it is stainless steel does not mean it is a grade or composition<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">that isn't magnetic or completely corrosion resistant.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Unless the specific grade of stainless is specified for the product manufacture, any grade of<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">stainless steel might be used, and manufacturers might advertise stainless steel and not specify<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">what type. Without specifying what type, you have no idea what corrosion properties to expect.<br>

<div dir="ltr">I have come across several items that were supposed to be solid stainless steel, but they were<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">regular steel plated with stainless steel. The last one was my Chinese replacement cooking grill for<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">my propane grill. <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Also, many grades of steel are mildly to strongly magnetic. Beware. <br>
