I recently found a brand new factory built aster Stirling that sells for $2000，this little jewish has never been steamed ，so I purchased it. But when I took it to my home，opened the steam chest, I found that the stainless steel fastening screw of one of the slide valves had severely rusted with half of it turning into mud, so I can’t remove it easily ,which made me curious about how this happened and why stainless steel also rusted like this.

You are (of course) right. From the 66 ASTER locomotives it is number 42 and it was introduced in 1996 which is exactly midway between the start of ASTER (1975) and the end (2016), not counting ASTER/Accucraft of course. See The ASTER Roster – Many different model trains in all scales & gauges or The Unauthorised History of ASTER – Many different model trains in all scales & gauges
