Rust on zigzag mk3

Morning guys,

 

Have any of you had any rust on your zigzags. I last used mine on a conifer removal in the wet, cleaned it like I normally would after and dried it off. I got it out yesterday and it has specs of rust on the stainless 'zigzag' part

 

Regards

Rorz

Although stainless steel is much more resistant to corrosion than ordinary carbon or alloy steels, in some circumstances it can corrode. It is 'stain-less' not 'stain-impossible'. In normal atmospheric or water based environments, stainless steel will not corrode as demonstrated by domestic sink units, cutlery, saucepans and work-surfaces.

 

In more aggressive conditions, the basic types of stainless steel may corrode

 

 

Hope this helps

Depends on the ferrous content ( iron ) . EN58J for example has minimal iron and is marine grade whereas EN57J does corrode readily . Try a magnet on it . If its non magnetic there is little or no iron .
