Absolutely. Non-magnetic material can include aluminium, copper alloys, nickel alloys and certain stainless grades. Use density, source, markings, construction and analytical testing where justified. “Non-magnetic equals stainless” is an unreliable identification rule and can lead to both overpayment and loss of valuable alloys.
