Racking stainless steel parts on alum racks

I work in a plating shop and I handle all of the stainless steel parts. Some customers want their parts racked during the nitric bath instead of being placed in baskets, due to dents and dings. But every time I rack parts they suffer from flash attack. What can I do to stop this from happening?

Have you tried stainless racks instead of aluminum?
