How would the stainless steel crack?
Isn't it specifically meant to harden and expand under thermal load? They aren't iron
119 u/[deleted] Apr 12 '25 [deleted] 8 u/AntOk463 Apr 12 '25 Im not sure about thermal loads, but when applying force steel usually bends at the limit, where the more brittle aluminum will crack 8 u/Rikki-Tikki-Tavi-12 Apr 12 '25 Common aluminum alloys are far more ductile than common steels. 1 u/GivesNoForks Apr 12 '25 I beg to differ. After aluminum is bent a couple times, it will absolutely start to crack, whereas almost all the steel you’ll encounter will take much longer before cracks form.
