It's made from some sort of Aluminum based alloy. A magnet won't stick to it but is seems almost to heavy for aluminum, it is definitely non-ferris.

Don't let that stop you from buying one, you will probably never wear one out in your life time.

you are correct. it is an aluminum alloy, it is mentioned in the assembly video.

I have no concern over it being aluminum.
