I presume that you are asking about exhausts since stainless is not
used in most of GA aircraft at all.


Correct me if I'm wrong, but are many firewalls not made of stainless, or
layers of stainless and other heat resistant fibers?


both statements are correct Jim.
most of GA aircraft are built commercially and most dont use stainless
in the firewalls.
most homebuilders though seem to favour stainless in the firewalls.

what I missed of course was his subject line.
inconel is what he wanted to know though.
