At our yard, if it didn't look like a piece that could be taken apart easily, we would pay you stainless breakage for it. If it could be taken apart easily, we would pay a little less than the clean stainless price for it.
Stainless is a metal the mills a very finicky about when it comes to classifying clean and contaminated. Even high dollar red metals like copper and brass being attached to stainless causes it to be graded as contaminated. It has something to do with the temperatures the different alloys melt at.
