Stainless steel can be either magnetic or non-magnetic, depending on its composition.

Austenitic Stainless Steel: This group, which includes grades like 304 and 316, is non-magnetic.  Ferritic Stainless Steel: Ferritic stainless steels, such as 430, are typically magnetic.
Martensitic Stainless Steel: Martensitic stainless steels, like 410 and 420, are also typically magnetic.

It’s important to note that there are exceptions and variations within each of these groups, and some stainless steel grades may have slightly different magnetic properties based on their specific alloying elements and heat treatment
