Why Does Stainless Steel Rust?

While ​316 stainless steel flat bar stock resists rust better than most alloys, localized corrosion may occur due to:

  1. Chloride Exposure: Prolonged contact with seawater or de-icing salts.
  2. Low Oxygen Environments: Crevices where oxygen is limited.
  3. Contamination: Iron particles from tools or nearby carbon steel.
  4. Temperature Extremes: Repeated thermal stress.

Regular cleaning and passivation minimize risks.
