I am working on a part for myself that will replace some brass internals in a carburetor. Methanol can react with brass and cause some problems so I want make some replacement parts in stainless. All the 300 series SSs are acceptable as well as a couple others for this so it really comes down to machinability. Because the OE parts were brass, these are obviously not structural parts and I would prefer a softer material to aid in machining. That being said, I know some of the 300 series pre-HT are pretty gummy so I really need something that is machinable.
I have some rather intricate areas that will require small tools so this could be tricky with stainless. I am also considering an anodize of a softer material for this application but concerned of the long term affect of Meth. SS is about the only metal that seems to do really well with it.
Ideas???
