Abstract: A composite magnetic member formed of a single material having a ferromagnetic section with high soft magnetism and a non-magnetic or the like section with sufficiently low magnetic (feebly magnetized or non-magnetic) and sufficient low MS temperature and a process for producing the member are provided. A composite magnetic member made of a single material of martensitic stainless steel including Ni having two sections of a ferromagnetic section having maximum permeability not less than 200 and coercive force not more than 2000 A/m and a feebly magnetized section having permeability not more than 2 and MS temperature not more than -30.degree. C.
