What type of metal is this? Aluminum? Aluminized steel? Does a magnet stick to it?

I am guessing it is an aluminized steel since a magnet did stick to both the flat bottom piece as well as the rim.

See if your refrigerator magnet sticks to it. If it sticks, it is not aluminum.

Seems too heavy to me to be aluminum, and too bright and shiny to be a common steel..So I put a magnet against it and it did attract. I'd therefore guess it is a corrosion-resistant or plated steel. I couldn't even drill two holes in the trailer bracket (to match my trailer holes) with my electric drill, it was so hard. But my neighbor, who is is machinist, and probably has a drill press, got it done.

Yes... although i havent tried... it is metal and a magnet should stick to it!

It doesn't appear to be attracted to magnets, so I'd imagine it's aluminum, but beyond that test I've very little way to determine its composition

I believe it is non-magnetic and looks like brushed aluminum. The nuts and bolts are magnetic so I expect they are cad plated steel or plain steel

I think this was made with steel that is chrome plated. I looks like stainless but it does stick to a magnet so therefore it probably has steel underneath. I hope that helps.

I really am unable to tell.It looks like metal but it has a brushed finish which makes it hard to decide.I placed a magnet against it and its not magnetic.?

It looks like aluminum, or could be a very light weight stainless steel. The surface does not attract a magnet. It is not a shiny metal, except for the ring around the lens area. I don't know if this answers your question, but hope it will be helpful. Bar Con

I believe it is made out of extruded aluminum as a magnet does not stick to it. Definitely not white. The one picture with it and an angle is more what it looks like. These are great, I have two of them.

Not positive, because it is so light and thin. But it must be steel or another metal, not aluminum because a magnet sticks to it. Mine in my kitchen will hang on to a magnet, but it's not this make. (I gave the new one as a gift 'cause I use mine all the time.) Sorry not to give you a definitive answer...

I am a machinist and it is made from stainless steel. A magnet will not stick. I believe the grade is 18-8 stainless ( surgical stainless)

It is coated, not stick. I don't think it is aluminum. Have had it now for a few years, use it a lot and it has no problems.

a fridge magnet would not stick, so I'm guessing some heavy duty black plastic. It does have some weight to it and of course the inside components are metal. Hope this helps.

the bottom is stainless, so it is stainless with aluminun encapsulated, neither of this metals are magnetic

I believe it is aluminum. It is certainly not steel. But it works very, very well and I would buy more.

The interior is stainless steel. I determined this by using a magnet. A magnet will not stick to aluminum.
