The chemical composition consists of adequate chromium content (18%), nickel content (14%), and carbon content (0.08%) along with balance in properties like corrosion resistance and ductility. The grade is non-magnetic due to its microstructure at all temperatures. Hence, the grade negligibly responses to magnetic field and is commonly used in applications where metal with non-magnetic properties are required. However, after welding, the metal might become slightly magnetic.
