Remember the Delorean car? Well it went through many, many complaints of it rusting and the reason was determined that the idiot dealers were...

Re: 304 vs 316 stainless steel

I would argue that most if not all “stainless” steels are not suited for the purpose you speak of, Titanium is not that much more expensive, not really. I think my Grade 5 titanium chain plates (8 of...
