Steel is stronger.

Stainless steel won't tarnish or rust. It is more cost effective now to use a cheaper metal and coat it with stainless steel. Some hardware is brass coated with stainless steel.
Valves are made from metals, including brass, bronze, iron, steel, and alloys, as well as from plastics.
In general, magnets will stick to steel. There are many stainless alloy steels that are non-magnetic, however. Most stainless steels have a metallic crystal structure that gives them few or no magnetic properties.

Composition and Properties The best way to differentiate between brass and stainless steel is to know their composition. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, while steel is an alloy of iron, carbon, and chromium. Just by their base metal, you can easily tell which has suitable properties for particular applications.
No, steel is generally heavier than brass. Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon with a density greater than that of brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc.
Linear Temperature Expansion Coefficient (10-6 in/in oF) Brass = 10.4 Steel = 7.3 Therefore brass will expand or contract more steel.

You can mark or slightly dent steel with a brass punch, but the steel is always going to win.
The method to separate steel nails from brass screws is called magnetic separation. Since steel is magnetic while brass is not, a magnet can be used to attract and separate the steel nails from the brass screws.
Brass hinges last longer than steel hinges.
Brass and steel are compatible, Otherwise we could NOT use brass valves with steel piping.
Because if you join copper (the pipe) directly into steel (the radiator) the electrolytic difference is so great they would corrode very quickly. By using brass between them you reove this risk.
Yes. Actually... a diamond is NOT 'stronger' than steel. A diamond is 'harder' than steel, but it is not stronger.
