electromagnetism - Why Inox Steel doesn't interact with magnets?


My dad has a HUGE magnet on his workshop.


I love magnets, and when I saw it, I asked him what it was for.


His reply was: "I don't know why, but inox steel bolts don't get attracted to it, so I use it to identify them."


Thus I got curious, why a magnet don't attract inox steel bolts? Steel, even if a inox variation is still mostly iron, no?
