The CROW ain't that bad, but I don't want no MOE.

steel can be rendered non-magnetic by heat treating....
And stainless steel becomes magnetic around 1200°F. Hmmmm?
I did study a little metallurgy for a few months. The heat treatment of carbon steel will cause the base metal to cool faster than the chromium carbide, and that somehow causes the crystals of the base metal to become depolarized - I think?!? That is how a good metallurgist ends every statement.
Maybe it's still magnetic, but the magnet don't know.
