The first overnight outside and they had a thin rust film. The cure This brings up a good point. When working with stainless, pieces get
embedded from tools. This is evident when using a wire wheel.......gotta use a
stainless wire wheel. It'll get crusty real quick. Heat control and restoring a
"worked part" back to clean solid SS is the only way to minimize corrosion. For
small parts like brackets it's best to use 316L-SS so the cost is kept low.
Larger pieces in 304 are OK but you must watch the seams, welds, and breaks (
folds ) for any corrosion and clean it right up before it gets to be a
problem.
Using ZINC sacrificial anodes helps a lot too. They will cut your corrosion
way down.
