Thank you Don for your very quick response. Reassuring to know you don't find that slight magnetism indicates bad spring material.
Appears from reading that the cold forming and other methods can impart magnetic properties and in some cases a bit more ferrite content can help avoid cracking.
A couple links for those who want to know more about the different magnetic properties of different SS grades and different SS manufacturing.
