FAQs on Stainless Steel Fasteners – Magnetism “Stainless steel can be completely non-magnetic only under vacuum conditions. All austenitic stainless steel fasteners are normally non-magnetic in the solution-treated state; some will exhibit obvious magnetism after cold deformation processing.” During work hardening, part of the austenitic structure transforms into martensite, resulting in increased magnetism. The magnetic […]
