Ngokuqhelekileyo, i-austenitic steel stainless ayinayo imagnetism. Kodwa i-martensite kunye ne-ferrite zinemagnetism. Nangona kunjalo, i-austenitic inokuba yimagnethi. Izizathu zezi zilandelayo:

Xa iqinile, inxalenye yemagnethi inokuhamba ngenxa yesizathu esithile sokunyibilikisa; thatha i-3-4 umzekelo, i-3 ukuya kwi-8% intsalela yinto eqhelekileyo, ngoko ke i-austenite kufuneka ibe ye-non-magnetism okanye i-magnetism ebuthathaka.

I-Austenitic stainless steel ayiyo-magnetic, kodwa xa isigaba sika-γ sisenza kwisigaba se-martensite, i-magnetism iya kuvelisa emva kokuqina okubandayo. Unyango lobushushu lungasetyenziselwa ukuphelisa esi sakhiwo se-martensite kunye nokubuyisela i-non-magnetism yayo.
