Abstract

The evolution of the magnetic phase upon aging at 300–520°C in a heavily cold-drawn AISI 316L austenitic stainless steel fiber was studied using thermomagnetic analysis (TMA) and magnetic force microscopy with a heating stage. An increasing trend of magnetization from 50°C to around 470°C in the heating curves of TMA in austenitic stainless steels after a cold-drawing process was observed. No significant Ms temperature signal in the TMA curve at cooling indicated an increase in magnetization upon cooling period without significant phase transformation. A series of in situ magnetic force microscopy observations reveal a growth of the magnetic domain structure after aging at 300°C for 2.5h. Results show that the ferromagnetic increase during aging at lower annealing temperature resulted from the growth of martensite.
