Inox steels magnetic properties
[edit]This page gives some details but doesn't answer the basic question a person would turn to an encyclopaedia to answer. I would like more information on the magnetic properties of different inox steels. With the advance of induction-cooking appliances the knowledge about different cooking pots for their suitability would be very helpful.2A02:8108:8FC0:2168:41AD:F8D:D052:921 (talk) 18:49, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
EN number, EN designation; also AISI grade
[edit]I was mystified by the column headings "EN number" and "EN designation". With some poking around, I figured out that "EN number" and "EN designation" refer to European standards. (I live in the US.) I agree that European standards, as well as the AISI standards with which I'm somewhat familiar, should be cited in this article, and other similar articles. AISI stands for American Iron and Steel Institute. Ideally, in the present article, these 3 column headings would have links to relevant standards organizations, as applied to different kinds of steel. Wikipedia's article on AISI is stub-quality; it's not a very useful link at the moment. AISI's own website doesn't feature standardization where it's readily visible; therefore, some work would be needed before the AISI column could be linked to a suitable place for finding out more about the standards.

I hope I provided some clarifications. I understand you find this article too short. However, I learned by bitter experience that too much material gets deleted on the grounds that wikipedia is "not a textbook" "not a how to"! Please visit also the stainless steel page Best regards
