The difference between magnetic and non-magnetic stainless steel is that non-magnetic stainless steel has a higher anti-corrosion function than magnetic one. But this difference is only in the knives and forks used in daily life. Some stainless steel products cannot be used if they are not magnetic.
There are two factors that affect the hardness of non-magnetic stainless steel pipes: high temperature treatment and carbon content.
The raw materials of non-magnetic stainless steel pipes have problems during high-temperature treatment. The process of high-temperature solution treatment is directly related to the hardness of non-magnetic stainless steel pipes. The corresponding standards not only have strict requirements on the hardness of non-magnetic stainless steel pipes, but also have strict requirements on the hardness of non-magnetic stainless steel pipes. The final remanence content of magnetic stainless steel pipes also has corresponding standard requirements.
The carbon content of the non-magnetic stainless steel tube, the main function of carbon is to increase the hardness of the non-magnetic stainless steel tube, but the carbon in the stainless steel tube is also an impurity, the harder the content, the greater the possibility of the non-magnetic stainless steel tube rusting.
In addition to these two factors, there is another reason for non-magnetic stainless steel pipes, namely copper. Copper will be added, the effect of copper not only improves the brightness, but also increases the toughness, so that the same non-magnetic stainless steel tube is softer, which is convenient for subsequent processing and bending. Therefore, the above are some factors that affect the hardness of non-magnetic stainless steel pipes. But this is not to say that the harder the better, but it is not conducive to the processing and bending of non-magnetic stainless steel pipes.
