    Don’t most cars use aluminum as well as carbon steel in their frames, to save on weight?

      I think the majority just use regular steel. Ford was a talking point when they started using aluminum for the F150 body panels. And then they started running into corrosion issues where the aluminum meets the steel fasteners and frame.

      I doubt this has any stainless in the frame. Really it should be a comparison of stainless vs aluminum and plastic body panels
