Why Does Stainless Steel Rust?
While 316 stainless steel flat bar stock resists rust better than most alloys, localized corrosion may occur due to:
- Chloride Exposure: Prolonged contact with seawater or de-icing salts.
- Low Oxygen Environments: Crevices where oxygen is limited.
- Contamination: Iron particles from tools or nearby carbon steel.
- Temperature Extremes: Repeated thermal stress.
Regular cleaning and passivation minimize risks.
