Why is some stainless steel magnetic and other stainless steel is not magnetic?
In: Chemistry
Stainless steels can have different „ingredients“ (phases). These phases develop if you add chromium and/or nickel to the molten mass and let it cool to room temperature. There are other additives that behave in a similar way.
Some ingredients are non magnetic (Austenite), some are. So it depends on how much of an ingredient is in the steel.
