    Thats what it is. As some of you all know..I worked for power plants, I repaired them and or built them, this is SS and could of been used for many things. At power plants we have used them everything from walls to man hole covers that large trucks and or other heavy items would go across. Or as pipe mounts.

    How I know this is stainless steel is by the burn cut on the side of the metal. The way it cut is unlike most metals, it has a very small melt drops unlike steel where you can get large globs of slag. The cut was made very slow due to the fact you cant cut it as fast as steel. The metal cant be "Ti" as Ti would have left "burn colors" on the metal...I see none of this and Ti is lighter than stainless steel

    Only likely metal...is stainless steel.
