[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1908469, member: 93138"] "Stainless" is a misnomer. Some of them stain fairly easily, others not so much. AISI 316 is an example of a 'stainless' that is pretty hard to corrode or stain in any way. Certain, very specific environs can do it, but it's difficult to achieve those environs. AISI 409 is a good example of a so-called "stainless steel" that rusts in fairly normal conditions. Saying something is "stainless steel" is not terribly descriptive at all. It narrows the field of metals used, but that is all it does. I'll guess that Salinas gets a marine layer at times. Leave a piece of barrel "stainless" steel outside for a while in that stuff and watch what happens. [/QUOTE]
