Non-ferrous stainless steel

Welding Journal for January 2008, page 10. "Now the college's welders are able to learn to work on the nonferrous metal and will be more hirable upon graduation". I always thought, and taught,(still teach), that stainless steel is a ferrous metal; I guess I'm wrong. Also, wouldn't employable be a better term to use than hirable?

For the last few years I've heard tell about this new grade of stainless from a number of welders, but have yet to see any.

Strictly speaking, the title you quote from Welding Journal mentions a "nonferrous metal", it says nothing that it is a stainless steel.
