Low grade stainless is magnetic. Car mfgr.  use this for exhaust systems. It'll rust some, but not like regular steel.

The tubing on buses are made from 303 stainless

I didn't think stainless steel would cause galvanic corrosion with aluminum. Probably from salt.

Surprisingly, it does:  https://www.engineersedge.com/galvanic_capatability.htm   I have plenty of stainless bolts and washers next to 6061 and 6063, and they're showing some slight galvanic oxidation where they meet.   Am I worried about it?   Nope, it's not a boat in sea water.   I'll just live with it.
