Magnetic Permability of Stainless Steels

(OP)
Hi,
has anyone got a list of stainless grades and their approximate magnetic permability?

Thanks

RE: Magnetic Permability of Stainless Steels

Usually manufacturer spec sheets contain the info.  But be warned, product form and thermo-mechanical history can change the values a lot.
In general, all of the 200 and 300 series alloys should be fully non-ferromagnetic (perm <1.05) when annealed. Many of these grades become rather magnetic when cold worked.  Welds are also magnetic.
There are a few grades that stay non-magnetic when cold worked, one example is 219.
The duplex and ferritic grades are so magnetic that it really isn't an issue.

See my thread1135-117830
in this group. There are numerous refences to the magnetic characteristics of various grades of SS.
