In our last blog, we discussed which attributes make stainless steel magnetic<\/a>, and how to determine if your stainless steel is ferrous or not. In this blog, we will show you the 3 common types of magnetic stainless steel, and give you a brief description of how they compare to austenitic structures, which are not magnetic at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magnetic Stainless Steels<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In order for stainless steel to have magnetic properties,\ntwo very important elements must exist. First, it must contain iron, which is a\nferrous metal (or metal with high amounts of ferrite). Second, it must have a crystal\ncomposition arranged in a ferritic or martensitic structure. In fact, the 3\nprimary types of magnetic stainless steel are ferritic, martensitic, and duplex,\neach of which have their own set of grades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2776 Ferritic Stainless Steels<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

\u2699 Ferritic stainless steel has large quantities of ferrite in its\nchemical composition. It contains grades like 409, 430 and 439. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2777 Martensitic Stainless Steel <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

\u2699 The martensitic steel group is ferromagnetic, as it contains an abundant amount of iron in grades like 410, 420, and 440.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2778 Duplex Stainless Steel<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

\u2699 Duplex stainless steel contains a mixture of austenite and ferrite, mostly austenite, making it slightly less magnetic. This group contains grades like 2205.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Austenitic Structures<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Stainless steels that have austenitic structures are those\nwith higher quantities of austenite in them. This also makes them mostly\nnon-magnetic. For instance, stainless steel grades like 304 and 316 retain high\namounts of iron in their chemical composition, but their austenite structures\nrenders them non-magnetic, or non-ferromagnetic<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does it Make a Difference?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

You might be wondering why ferromagnetic properties matter\nin terms of stainless steel. Well, in various industries and applications, the\nlevel of magnetism is highly influential. For instance, magnetic steels can\ncause a lot of problems in processes like metal fabrication, welding, building construction,\nand more. Electrical currents are also effected by magnetic steel. Other times,\nmagnetic properties are required, such as in metal sorting, electronics, and\nmore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
