Non Magnetic Stainless Steel Sheet

It is an austenite steel and is only slightly responsive to magnetic fields.

Non magnetic stainless steel sheet.

A totally non magnetic material has a relative magnetic permeability of 1. For special shaped non rectangular cuts please email a diagram of the. 18 and nickel min. 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.

Austenitic structures are totally non magnetic and so a 100 austenitic stainless steel would have a permeability of 1. 304 stainless steel contains chromium min. It is the nickel which modifies the physical structure of the steel and makes it theoretically non magnetic. 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.

In practice this is not achieved. This kind of grade is magnetic and is commercial and food grade. Austenitic stainless steels have a high amount of austenite which makes them mostly non magnetic. A piece of ferritic stainless steel is typically unmagnetized.

There is always a small amount of ferrite and or martensite in the steel and so permeability values are always above 1. For non standard square or rectangular cuts please use the price calculator below. Stainless steel sheets and plates. What stainless steel is magnetic.
