[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 816070, member: 1007"] I'm not 100% sure so please don't hang me if I'm wrong but I do believe there is a small amount of carbon in 416r SS and quite a bit of chromium. I've heard that true SS is softer than other steels but its the addition of chromium that makes 416r harder. What I do know is that 416r SS barrels DO rust. Not nearly to the degree other steels and dont pit as bad. Rust also clean off much easier. But good SS does rust and has magnetic properties. [/QUOTE]
