We see a number on the list that seem to ring more of truth than myth but since several tie directly to what we are currently testing with the Edge Rolling Test Stand we're going to withhold further comment until the tests are complete save this one;
"Stainless means pitting resistant." If pitting is due to oxidation (rust) and stainless steel is resistant to oxidation then it would seem that Stainless would be resistant to pitting. Now if we've fallen into some carefully laid trap, please toss us a rope.
Yes, but with reservations.
Stainless levels of chromium added for corrosion resistance do not correlate directly with pitting resistance - other alloys like Mo enhance the existing Cr passive layer, making it more pitting resistant
