Default Stainless steel water pipes?

Hi guys


From my 1930s Tudor, the water pipe on the radiator has rusted very thin after 90 years. It already has some holes that I will have repaired now, but I think I will need a new one soon.


Now I have a friend who works very well with stainless steel tubes, who would make this tube for me. But before I install a stainless steel pipe in the cooling system, I would like to know your experience with the materials. Does it damage the cast iron engine block or the copper / brass cooler? Electrolysis and contact corrosion can do a lot of damage.

Greetings from Berlin
Andy
