Abstract

MeV ions were implanted into 301 and 304 stainless steel foils to investigate the localized modification of magnetic properties associated with the phase transformation. The intensity of the magnetization was found to increase by MeV Au + implantation because of the localized martensitic transformation. The increase in magnetization for 301 stainless steel was greater than that for 304 stainless steel because 301 stainless steel more easily transformed austenite into martensite. The beam-induced localized phase transformation in stainless steel can be applied to permanent magnetic recording.
