You are right and i stand corrected. It is the minimum 11.5% by weight of
chrome that makes it what it is.

That's simply incorrect on both counts -- there are many SS alloys that
aren't ferromagnetic, but all SS has iron in -- the preponderance is Fe.

Here's a composition for SS 304--

Cr 19%
Ni 9.0
C 0.08 max
Fe (balance)

According to my Metallurgy 101 book all stainless steels contain Fe or
iron as the major component. If no iron is present you're talking
about alloys like Inconel, Rene 41, etc. Lots of info on stainless
steels listed by Google. Have a look and be enlightened.

Simplest and most effective is any construction adhesive or silicone
sealant (more easily removed).
