Didn't know that Bohm's heat caps were Stainless. But there is Stainless and there is Stain Less, depending on the alloy used. Check it with a magnet, as I know for marine rigging, Stainless wire-rope that will attract a magnet is considered to be very inferior at corrosion resistance!

A magnet is not interested in it.
