INOX is also actually just an industry word meaning stainless steel whether "coated" or not.
Do you know what the benefit of "INOX coating" could possibly be in an automotive environment?

So INOX is a coating, but it'd be a waste of money to put it on any stainless that is used in a automotive application... Is that correct?
For your reference, there are many types of stainless

In my line of work, we've had situations were 304 stainless wasn't good enough because of attack from H2S. I'm not saying that H2S is going to decay your stainless coils... nothing of the sort. Just pointing out that stainless isn't invincible to attack.

And actually, if you read the product information KW doesn't actually claim their INOX line is coated at all. And furthermore, coating stainless steel would increase its susceptibility to corrosion so I think racecompengineering just assumes it is some sort of coating.
You haven't answered my question about INOX coating on stainless steel. What's it supposed to achieve? According you that Euro INOX link corrosion protection has nothing to do with INOX coating, it's just a way of colouring stainless steel, which is quite difficult BTW.

Change your tune much? Now INOX coating is just a colouring thing. It's doesn't actually perform a task.
With that said, I agree, and I think when they said INOX coating, they mis-spoke. Unless the item truly is only plated in stainless...
