My truss rods are made from both 303 and 304 stainless. The backbone is 304. The round bar and the adjuster are 303. Both of these alloys have a higher shear modulus than 1080 steel, 77 GPa for stainless compared to 72 GPa for 1080.

These stainless alloys are also slightly less elastic than 1080, a property that I feel is important in truss rods.

A comparison of these alloys can be found here:

So...100% guarantee on those rods. Congrats on having the finest thing I've seen in the truss rod department. I'd use yours if I hadn't eliminated them from my builds.
