Is Stainless Steel 316 Magnetic?
We have thousands tons stock of stainless steel sheet and coil with various size and grade,mainly include austenitic stainless steel, martens stainless steel (including precipitation hardened stainless steel sheet & coil), ferritic stainless steel, and duplex stainless steel.
Characteristics of Stainless Steel Sheet and Plate:
High corrosion resistance
High strength
High toughness and impact resistance
Temperature resistance
High workability, including machining, stamping, fabricating and welding
Smooth surface finish that can be easily clean
A basic stainless steel has a ‘ferritic’ construction and is magnetic. These are formed from the addition of chromium and could be hardened via the addition of carbon (making them ‘martensitic’) and are sometimes used in cutlery. However, the most typical stainless steels are ‘austenitic’ – these have the next chromium content and nickel can also be added.

grade 310 chrome steel
Austenitic stainless steels have a high amount of austenite which makes them mostly non-magnetic. Even although grades such as 304 and 316 chrome steel have excessive quantities of iron of their chemical composition, austenite means they’re non-ferromagnetic. However, if the crystal construction of an austenitic stainless steel is changed via work-hardening or particular thermal treatment, then ferrite can form in some locations making the steel partially magnetic. As for whether or not they’re magnetic, the reply is that it depends. There are several families of stainless steels with totally different bodily properties.
In different alloys of steel, this excessive-temperature phase of iron transforms to a magnetic section when the metal cools. The presence of nickel within the stainless steel alloys stabilizes austenite against this part transition because the alloy cools to room temperature.
We produce ASTM/ASME Grade 304, Grade 304L,304h, 316, 316L, 316H, 316TI, 321, 321H, 309S, 309H, 310S, 310H, 410S, 2205, 904L, 2507, 254, gh3030, 625, 253MA, S30815, 317L, Type 317, 316lN, 8020, 800, 800H, C276, S32304 and others special requirement stainless steel grade.
- Some other metals such as nickel and cobalt are also ferromagnetic.
- Even although the duplex grades are mixtures of austenite and ferrite they’re nonetheless strongly attracted to a magnet.
- All stainless steels grades excluding the austenitic grades are also magnetic – all ferritic grades , all duplex grades , all martensitic grades and all precipitation hardening grades (eg 630/17-4PH).
- All frequent carbon steels , low alloy steels and tool steels are ferromagnetic.
What grade of stainless steel will not rust?
mild steel generally called as MS is a plain carbon steel meaning there is no other alloying element other than carbon with iron. when compared to 1045(carbon steel) 304(stainless steel) is very very soft. when compared to EN8, SS 420 is stronger.
All stainless steels grades aside from the austenitic grades are additionally magnetic – all ferritic grades , all duplex grades , all martensitic grades and all precipitation hardening grades (eg 630/17-4PH). Even although the duplex grades are mixtures of austenite and ferrite they’re still strongly interested in a magnet. Both 304 and 316 stainless steels are austenitic, once they cool, the iron stays in the type of austenite , a section of iron which is nonmagnetic. The different phases of cast-iron correspond to totally different crystal structures.

The benefit of stainless steels over plated steels is that, if scratched or broken, the steel will ‘self-restore’ as a brand new oxide layer is fashioned. In plated steels, scratches in the plate will usually result in corrosion of the steel underneath.
Today, the oil and gasoline trade is the most important user and has pushed for more corrosion resistant grades, resulting in the event of super duplex and hyper duplex grades. More lately, the inexpensive (and slightly much less corrosion-resistant) lean duplex has been developed, chiefly for structural functions in building and construction and within the water industry.
