[MW:16610] MAGNETIC CHECK

Hi Experts,

We have an issue where the Customer is going around on the a stainless steel (S316L) using a potable to check on the materials and welds

He has checked on some areas near the weldment where there is a force of attachment and the magnet is still sticking to the area

The magnet drops off when the magnet is moving away from the weldment

I request for a technical understanding to clarify with the customer

Appreciate your kind assistance

Thank you

Best Regards

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

Introduction The colour formed when stainless steel is heated, either in a furnace application or in the heat affected zone of welds, is dependent on several factors that are related to the oxidation resistance of the steel. The heat tint or temper colour formed is caused by the progressive thickening of the surface oxide layer and so, as temperature is increased, the colours change. Oxidation resistance of stainless steels However, there are several factors that affect the degree of colour change and so there is no a single table of colour and temperature that represents all cases. The colours formed can only be used as an indication of the temperature to which the steel has been heated. Factors affecting the heat tint colours formed Steel composition The chromium content is the most important single factor affecting oxidation resistance. The higher the chromium, the more heat resistant the steel and so the development of the heat tint colou...
