Actually, stainless steels are a family of alloys, which can have a great range of properties, depending on what Often, when stainless steel appears to be rusting, it has actually been contaminated with carbon steel – which
they are to be used for. Stainless steels are often used for their appearance or corrosion resistance, but they rusts, of course! And the stainless steel gets the blame. The secret is to fabricate the stainless steel in a dedicated

“Stainless steel is not magnetic”
Some types of stainless steel, including the most common ones, the austenitics, aren’t magnetic. But most types –
“Stainless steel doesn’t rust” the ferritics, martensitics, duplexes and most of the precipitation hardening grades – are magnetic. The corrosion
Strictly speaking, stainless doesn’t rust. Some industry publications even say it can’t. But like all materials, there resistance is not affected in any way by whether the grade of stainless is magnetic or not – corrosion resistance

corrosion product looks just like the rust you get on carbon steel. Even the austenitics can become somewhat magnetic when they are deformed. Try putting a magnet in the
corner of a stainless steel sink – some magnetism can usually be detected. The amazing ability of austenitic
stainless steel to deform without breaking is used to deep draw sinks in one piece – without heating!

 General Purpose Ferritic Grade AWM 404GP™ Stainless Steel Corrosion Resistance The chemical composition of AWM 404GP™ gives it a higher Pitting Resistance Equivalent (PRE)

– AWM 404GP™ is used in light gauges, not easy to stick weld. AWM 404GP™ can be TIG welded without filler metal, or
with 308L(Si) or 309L(Si) filler metal. Avoid introducing carbon into the weld by degreasing before welding – degreasing is
as important with AWM 404GP™ as it is with aluminium. Gas shielding must be excellent – use argon, or argon plus helium
or up to 3% CO2. Never use nitrogen or hydrogen in welding or backing gases. For best pickling after welding, ensure
oxidation is minimised and use the pickling paste for longer than with 304.
