Just what is "All Stainless"??
 
I've heard that there's no such thing as truly 'stainless' stainless
steel...


In practice stainless means "Stain Less" not stain free. Some grades are
more "Less" than others.

Just what is "All Stainless"??
 
Just a short note to let you know that non magnetic stainless steel
generally has an Austenitic microstructure and magnetic stainless steel has
a ferritic microstructure

you will also find that on some twin screwed vessels one shaft is ferritic
and the other is austenitic guess which one corrodes quickest
