Some stainless alloys will rust.

I've heard it's more corosion than it is rust.

Beer 30 is correct, read nice article in last months Powerboat on MIRACLE METAL, tells all you need to know about stainless. NSF

I was taught in auto shop it is not called rust free steel but STAINLESS.As in stains less.
My teacher had a wrist pin for a cummins big rig motor that was stainless it sat for ever it got A lil rust on it i asked him about it.
BTW i have that wrist pin somewhere took it for a souvenier of mr macys auto shop.A lil wire brush it was fresh as new :crossx:

77, I have heard it put almost the same way: "It's Stain Less, not Stain Free"
Try owning a set of Bravo 3 props, they rust surprisingly easy!

As I said, the article in Powerboat explains just what stainless is. Hell, I never even knew what it was composed of. Good article. NSF

Will a Magnet stick to it?????

[Havasu Carrera]

After running it last time the rust is gone!! Hmmm musta sand blasted it!!??
I checked it with a magnet and suspected maybe a LITTLE stickage!! It stuck right on and never let off! My drive showere and other hardware is stainless as well and well? NO stickage at all there. So my prop is what?!?!?! Surely not chrome but well?
