You're correct! The magnetic properties of cast stainless steels are primarily influenced by their crystal structure. Austenitic stainless steels, which have a face-centered cubic (fcc) crystal structure, are usually non-magnetic. On the more hand, ferritic and martensitic stainless steels, with a body-centered cubic (bcc) or a distorted bcc structure, can exhibit magnetic properties. It's significant to think of the distinct alloy composition and calefaction treatment process<sp>to determine whether a cast stainless steel is magnetic or not. Has any specific encountered exceptions to this rule?
