I had to take a metallurgy nine week class for my job description many years ago and it's amazing how much I remember about metals. I never needed to use any of it for the job just had to be on paper I knew it. I remember it was fun tempering different metals in the workshops. I use to bend the metals in quilt block shapes and this was before I started to quilt. Seems everything relates to quilting to me in some form.

The other side of that coin is ... do you really want pins that do not stick to a magnet. I would be lost without my big magnets for my pins? So glad I could tell you why "stainless steel " pins corrode...and all stainless is not created equal.
