This method is fast, accurate and stable. And the potion does not need to use any auxiliary equipment, easy to carry, low cost.

Method 4: Look for the grade markings: Stainless steel materials are typically marked with their grade, such as "304" or "316".  These markings can usually be found on the surface of the material or on the packaging.

By knowing the grade of the stainless steel, you can determine its properties and suitability for your project.
