TMC’s CleanTop® Optical Top, available in a “non-magnetic” construction, is recommended for applications requiring the support of a high-strength magnet or the maintenance of a homogenous magnetic field.

Though no alloy of stainless steel can be 100% non-magnetic, the lower iron content of the 300 series alloy allows reduction in ferromagnetic properties. Alloys are available with even less ferro­magnetism than 304 alloy such as 316 L, but 304 is generally considered to be the best price-to-performance trade-off for a non-magnetic table.
