How microstructure controls magnetism

How microstructure controls magnetism

Let’s keep it simple: stainless steel’s magnetism comes down to crystal structure. Austenitic grades (like 304 and 316) have a face-centered cubic structure that’s normally non-magnetic in the annealed state. Ferritic and martensitic grades (e.g., 430 or 410) have body-centered structures and are magnetic. Duplex steels sit in-between — partially magnetic because they combine austenitic and ferritic phases. Think of it like coffee blends: some are smooth and mellow (non-magnetic austenitic), others are bold and gritty (magnetic ferritic/martensitic).
