macro detail of corroded stainless steel
Stainless steel can and does rust; it's 'stainless' not 'stainfree'. Some types of stainless steel are more prone to corrosion than others, depending on the chromium content. The higher the chromium content, the less likely the metal will rust. This piece of steel was found on the Suffolk coast at Walberswick. Environments with salty water can accelerate corrosion on stainless steel
