<div class="moz-cite-prefix">What is flaking off my bumper as I go
over the rust with steel wool is about the same thickness as
chrome plating. think the question to ask a manufacturer is if
the bumper is 100% stainless steel or is it plated on the front.
And to look at the back to see if it is painted or unpolished
steel.<br>

aluminum inserts. These are forged together using various
processes. It is possible that they are forging flat plates
of stainless and mild steel and then punching and forming
bumpers out of that sandwich. Stainless steel has a
reputation of being difficult to machine and this may
explain why they would go to the trouble of forging a thin
layer or stainless on a more easily machinable soft steel.</font></div>
