I have a sample of free nickel and high nitrogen stainless had a heat treatment till 1050 for 1 hour then water quenched I test it by magnet then I find it had attraction to what can cause that
Full austenitic stainless steel is non-magnetic, both N and Ni can increase the range of austenite. So this steel with high nitrogen and free Ni may have some content of ferrite. You can calculate the ratio of Cr equivalent and Ni equivalent, and then see it has ferrite or not.
