1) Not all stainless steel cannot be attracted by magnet?
2) why SUS430 can be attracted by magnet? can I calssify SUS430 as magnetic stainless steel?
 
Yes you can classify 430 as magnetic grade of stainless steel. Another interesting observation. 304 grad of stainless steel is conventionally non magnetic grade. Bu if some heavy mechanical working or machining is done you can observe it to be mildly magnetic.
