stainless steel is mostly and alloy of steel chromium and nickel so if you try to use it in electroplating it will tend to dissociate into basic elements and the most electro negative one

will plate the cathode

@nanotech1a yea, it never plated right, looked like an oxide.

I thought of doing this, however I wondered if the SS would retain its integrity. After all it is a compound and not a pure metal.
