MAGNETIC PROPERTIES

Stainless steels magnetic permeability varies according to steel grade; austenitic stainless steels are generally considered non magnetic or slightly magnetic according to the residual work hardening from the production process.
The relative magnetic permeability decreases according to the following scale.

1.4301 > 1.4436 > 1.4529
(304L > 316L > 354/1)

Austenitic-ferritic stainless steels on the contrary have obvious magnetic properties according to ferrite content in their structure.
