Hi¡ everybody:

As we know, austenitic stainless steels show slight to severe magnetism depending on the amount of martensite transformation after cold working. However, I have not bibliography about it, Does any body have some literature to provide me.

One of my customers detected some magnetism on 304 ss (he produces storage tanks and, obviously, he had to roll the sheet), after the rolling operation he detected the magnetism. He is reluctant to believe that asutenitic ss becomes magnetic after forming operations.
