Thank you Mr. Mark for your response. Yes, temperature kills ferromagnetism. Curie point, is the temperature at which materials lose their permanent strong magnetic properties.
Magnetism is quite a tricky property, which is a consequence of the steel's microstructure. For some applications (e.g. military, surgery) magnetic blades are not fully suitable. In principle ferritic stainless steels are magnetic while austenitic stainless steels are usually non-magnetic at room temperature.
