This specification covers nominally 17.5% Cr free-machining ferritic stainless soft magnetic alloy produced or supplied expressly in cold-finished bar form for use in magnetic cores and other parts requiring a corrosion-resistant, high permeability, low-coercivity steel. This specification does not cover either cast parts or parts produced by powder metallurgy techniques. Two specific alloy types are covered distinguished by different silicon levels. Required measurements include chemical analysis and dc magnetic property measurement. The magnetic properties depend both on the grade and the dimensions. Apart from the requirements, the specification contains useful appendices discussing the magnetic testing of these alloys and typical magnetic and physical properties.
