Stainless steel is kind of a misnomer anyway. In aviation terms it's referred to as CRES or corrosion resistant steel. It will corrode but not in the same way as other ferrous steels that don't have the nickel content. Even the chrome content helps reduce corrosion. Ford always referred to is as rustless steel back in the model A era. I was just using Ford's description of the product.
