Plastically deformed austenitic stainless steel exhibits
magnetism. Such behavior occurs due to the stress caused by
the transformation, where a martensitic phase is created. A
characteristic feature of nitrogen-containing nickel-free austenitic
stainless steels is the lack of ferromagnetism. This is due to the
strong effect of stabilizing austenite by nitrogen, which prevents
