With enough exposure and time, SS will rust. Brass never rusts. james Cheers James, but where am I missing something when you say stainless steel rusts? Wouldn't brass oxidize in a salt environment? Besides what I am reffering to is the nuts/bolts holding the kit together. An observant operator will inspect his kit yearly and make adjustments accordingly. Howdy Jim, Yes SS does rust, but at a far lower rate than regular steel. Brass might oxidize a little, but will never corrode under salt air environments. Landshark Hey Shark, my point was that stainless when used and inspected accordingly would perform just as well as brass at a lower cost. Should have said that originally. Its actually a silly point as we are talking nickels and dimes. |
