stainless steel is just any steel with nickel added.Nickel is not overly hard so it will be as hard as the parent steel.

Stainless tends to be a little "gummy" (machine shop term). As such it will tend to bind against the tap. Tap Magic will keep the stainless from sticking to the tap and reduces friction. It's much easier to break a tap in stainless than it is in regular cold rolled steel. With practice stainless can me tapped just as easy as regular steel but it does take practice. Stainless will dull a cutting surface faster than regular steel because it is a little "tougher" to cut. Just ask any machinist!!
"1/4 turn clockwise followed by 1/2 turn back to clean your threads", totally agree!!
