How does 303 Stainless Become Magnetic?
How does 303 Stainless Become Magnetic?
(OP)
It is well known that 300 Series Stainless can
become magnetic by cold working. What is the
mechanism? How can a macro type operation
affect what is a nuclear property? I can't find
this in any of my metallurgy books...Thanks

The magnetism isn't an atomic level property (well, it is , but in the sense that Fe and Ni are magnetic). The structure and order of the atoms into crystal structures are what result in the net apperent magnetic properties for an alloy.
I am sure that there are newer bookd on the subject, but if you can find a copy or "Ferromagnetism" by Bozorth you will have a good basis.

curious as to why you believe that the magnetic properties are nuclear?
