ARE ALL NEEDLES THE SAME MATERIAL?

[Johnny]

I noticed in some airbrush ads the needles are advertised as stainless steel and in others there is no mention of what they are made of. The tips of my knock-off brush needles are are so soft they bend if you look at the crooked.

So - are all needles the same material?

they may not always be the exact same alloy, as there are a lot of them, but almost always they are stainless steel.
