    Yeah, tbh, I’ve never looked at the metallurgical composition of a washer drum… I honestly always kind of assumed they were aluminum.

      I cannot say for 100% surety, but they are most probably either 303SS or 304SS, (SS = Super Shit). They are among the more corrosion resistant stainless’ cheaply and easily available.

      Me too, and the first thought was melting point. But I guess they’d have to be steel to hold the weight they do.

        Remember, appliances are typically made out of the cheapest crap possible. Aluminum costs more than steel.

        Almost all washing machine tubs are enalemed steel or stainless steel.
