Default Looks Like Stainless... ?

Does a magnet stick?


Yes, but this was originally a mounting part on a motorcycle (device and
bike both long gone), and there is no sign of any rust. It doesn't machine
like it was plated with anything either.

I grabbed a piece of scap to make a part today. It looks like stainless,
is
heavy like steel, and machines easy like 1144. What the heck is this
mystery metal?

Seriously. I don't know, but I want to.
