How does a relatively small amount of chromium prevent steel from rusting?
In: 573
As a point of perspective, though it’s only tangentially related to your question, it’s a huge no-no to do anything with carbon steel adjacent to stainless. If you’re grinding on carbon, and that lands on stainless, it will rust. If you scrape a stainless piece with a forklift, it’s gonna rust. Sometimes it happens over the course of an hour or two (flash rust on wet stainless exposed to carbon).
