Stainless steel boilers DO rust. Correct?
Rust never sleeps
Any metal will corrode in the right environment.
Really??? How much nickel in it?? How much iron?? How much carbon?? What other trace elements?? What alloy?? What hardness?? What metallurgy training do you have?? Unless you have even the *slightest* clue, suggest you STFU
As I said before, in the right environment, any metal will corrode.
Geez, relax relax already--previous poster is agreeing with you. He said stainLESS. As in bullet RESISTANT.
BTW, OP can find an authoritative answer here
It absolutely does corrode, but there are things you can do to prevent it.
Assuming that the designer spec'ed the correct material for the application to begin with, the most common corrosion problems occur after welding or machining. Even if the correct WFM was used, either process will leave a surface that's much less corrosion resistant than before.
Google "passivation" and you'll probably find the answers you're looking for.
Oops--forgot to paste the third link...
Well does stainless rust it depend where is use so answer could be yes and no, in very hot and humid area yes stainless could rust and very heavily depend on concentration of oxygen in immediate area, less oxygen quicker and more rapidly rust will take effect, also depend what grade of stainless it is I would suggest that you ask that question to some one that is expert in metallurgy
good luck from Dido
What the hell does "Hot" have to do with rusting? Bubba
There is actually no such thing as true stainless steel. It's a common mis-conception. There are over 150 different types of "stainless teel" though they say, so go figure hahaha
I would buy some rust buster to solve your boiler problem :P
