Magnetic Response of Stainless Steels | Kimball Physics - Excellence in Electron and Ion ... Page 2 of 3
HEAT TREATMENT
If a piece of austenitic stainless steel has been made to respond to a magnet by cold work this can be removed by a solution
treatment the standard treatment of heating to about 1050C (depending on the grade) followed by water quenching or
other rapid cooling. The high temperature allows the strain-induced martensite to re-form as austenite and the steel returns
to being non-magnetic. It is also returned to being low strength.
SORTING OF STEELS
The magnetic response of a piece of steel is a quick and qualitative test that can be useful for sorting grades of stainless
steel. Other qualitative tests are listed in Atlas TechNote 1.
