Non Magnetic Stainless Steel Sheet

Austenitic structures are totally non magnetic and so a 100 austenitic stainless steel would have a permeability of 1.

Non magnetic stainless steel sheet.

In practice this is not achieved. Austenitic stainless steels have a high amount of austenite which makes them mostly non magnetic. 18 and nickel min. There is always a small amount of ferrite and or martensite in the steel and so permeability values are always above 1.

Manufacturer of a wide range of products which include 304 stainless steel plate ss sheet non magnetic stainless steel plate stainless steel 304l sheet mirror finish stainless steel sheet and 316 stainless steel sheet. A totally non magnetic material has a relative magnetic permeability of 1. However the most common stainless steels are austenitic these have a higher chromium content and nickel is also added. It is an austenite steel and is only slightly responsive to magnetic fields.

When subjected to a magnetic field however it will become magnetized and when this applied magnetic field is removed the steel. It is the nickel which modifies the physical structure of the steel and makes it theoretically non magnetic. For special shaped non rectangular cuts please email a diagram of the. Stainless steel sheets and plates.

What stainless steel is magnetic. Even though grades such as 304 and 316 stainless steel have high amounts of iron in their chemical composition austenite means they are non ferromagnetic. 22 gauge 430 magnetic stainless steel sheet 030 thick standard 36 width x 36 length standard cut s ss 430 030 36 36 030 22 gauge 430 magnetic stainless steel 36 x 48. This kind of grade is magnetic and is commercial and food grade.

304 stainless steel contains chromium and nickel.
