Most of the stainless steels in this category are magnetic. If iron is present, the crystal structure of martensitic stainless steel can be ferromagnetic. Because iron is the primary material in stainless steel, martensitic steels have magnetic properties.
Which types of stainless steel are magnetic?
- Ferritic Stainless Steels such as grades 409, 430 and 439.
- Martensitic Stainless Steel such as grades 410, 420, 440.
- Duplex Stainless Steel such as grade 2205.
Is all stainless steel non-magnetic?
Some stainless steels are magnetic, and others are not. ... Martensitic stainless steels (which have a ferritic microstructure) are magnetic. Austenitic stainless steels contain nickel and are non-magnetic.
