It showed magnetic susceptibility of brass as 1, steel as 150.

Less than 1% as magnetic as steel?

Well, THAT was an interesting reading of the data!

How would you respond if I said both copper and zinc were less
magnetic in terms of susceptibility than for example the transparent
plastics?
Ah, yes but there might be minor iron inclusions in a brass
casting? Yeppers!
Or in a bronze casting.
Or a cxopper casting.
Or in an aluminum casting....
