No, copper.  Copper.  I use them in conjunction with mild steel, as I have
no fancy exhaust.  I get them from my local VW garage, Fred's in Redwood
City, but I think they're pretty common.  Volks Cafe in S. Cruz has them as
well.

Where did you get the copper version lock nut? Stainless steel or other?

There is a copper version of the Nylock nut--looks cool, works great,
doesn't melt.
