Non magnatic tranfurable steel





I am looking for a non magnetic and non magnetic tranfurable steel for a gen set I working on if you know of any.

Ross,

I don't know the meaning of "tranfurable", but the austenitic stainless steels, in the annealed condition, are not ferromagnetic. Of course, a magnetic field will go through them, as it would air. If you seek a shield material, which will not allow the magnetic lines of flux to pass, then you want a highly ferromagnetic alloy such as a permendur. CarTech, Special Metals, and VDM all make these nickel-iron alloys: see their websites for more information.

Good luck!
