Is 316 steel magnetic?

316 stainless steel will have weak magnetism, (unless it has been degaussed). 316L stainless steel is commonly used in pulp and paper equipment heat exchangers, dyeing equipment, film processing equipment, pipelines, external materials for buildings in coastal areas, and Bracelets, cases, etc. of high-end watches.
Generally, 316l stainless steel products are in annealed solid solution state, without magnetism, and weak magnetism after work hardening. The stable austenite structure can be recovered by high-temperature solution treatment, thereby eliminating the magnetism. In particular, the magnetism of the 316L stainless steel plate caused by the above reasons is completely different from that of other stainless steels, such as 430 and carbon steel. At the same level, that is to say, the magnetism of 304 steel always shows weak magnetism.
