Do you mean cast or wrought iron?

[@dennisw7350]

There used to be all kinds of scrap around. Now days seems to be far less

[@TheDancecommander5]

This is true! Too many people weighing it in these days, but there is still stuff out there to find.

magnets can stick to stainless steel just be careful. I had a bulk milk tank that was magnetic and very obviously ss

[@danielmoss2089]

The chair spring that you heated up has been normalised not tempered.

[@davidstevens5908]

Take the metal and sell it to recycling. Use the money buy what you need.

[@danielmoss2089]

Magnets don't stick to stainless steel.

[@danielmoss2089]

Zink is not an alloy it's an element. If a metal has more than one element in it it's an alloy steel is an alloy. As it's made of canon and iron plus other elements some times. Zinc is an element that is heat to a liquid and the metal is dipped in it. It's a coating.

[@davidstevens5908]

Some alloys are magnetic.

I GOT a swaybar from a Mercedes after an accident. It's been great for hot punches and other tools.

Do you know why it's called "steel"? Because, if I see it; I'm gonna steal it.
