Can Stainless Steel Be Magnetic?

[Bob S]

The abstract of this article implies that the austenitic-to-martensitic transformation in SS316 occurs ~40 kelvin when cooling the sample.

Does it transform back to austenitic at 40 kelvin when temperature is rising?

Well, that can't be the same thing used for making blades, unless it differs with alloy, since that is a balmy 77.36 liquid nitrogen bath.
