Marine Metals, Part 1 – Stainless Steel:
"Whether you're running a full-service yard or marina, surveying boats, or supervising new construction, these days-more than likely-if you think of fabricating or purchasing a piece of strong (high-strength) metal hardware for a boat, you'll think stainless. Stainless is, in fact, a superb alloy. It's is certainly strong and appears corrosion resistant. It's also widely available. As we'll see, however, stainless steels have some serious and not well understood drawbacks."
