Yes it is detectable. Stainless steel is the name given to several different alloys of iron and chromium. Although other elements may be present the main ingredients are detectable with X rays so nothing needs to be added to make it detectable.

stainless steel is an alloy of iron,nickel, and chrome and carbon.
there are many different mixes depending what it is to be used for
300 series is non magnetic, tough , but rubbery
400 series is very hard and magnetic.
everythying is detectable by x rays, just different ammounts
of all metals beryllium is the least.
