Slightly magnetic Steels
Slightly magnetic Steels
(OP)
I'm looking for some steel types that have mild magnetic properties. I have some in my posession, but they come from a scrap heap, and I cannot identify the material. I only know that they are both stainless steel. Can anyone suggest which types of stainless steels I should look at? I'm looking for a large magnetic range.

Austenitic SS like 304,316,301 etc becom more and more attracted to a magnet depending on the amount of cold work that is done to them. Somewhere Somewhen someone probably did a study relating %CW (%reduction) to ferro-magnetism.
There are other magnetic properties like permeability etc that I'm not able to answer on IE I dont know about.

By the way, do you mean ferromagnetic or magnetic (having the properties of a magnet?

They were quite helpful to me several times.
