Better Testing Methods Advice

I usually torch test everything metling it usually reveals what it is at least to me. I can tell the difference between 304 and 316 SS just by melting it. If you are really stumped by something just take it to the yard and make them hit it with the niton gun. I can usually just tell by looking at something what it is but I have been doing this for way to long.

Have you noticed that non magnetic SS becomes magnetic near the cut or melted zone.
