Comment on Tesla Cybertruck May Have A Rust Problem
kiwi5400@lemmy.world 9 months agoI’m being pedantic here, but stainless steel still has iron in it. The addition of chromium forms an oxide layer on the surface that prevents rust. If the body is rusting, that means they used a shitty grade of stainless. Stainless with an appropriate amount of chromium (and nickel) is expensive as fuck.

Stainless can go goofy after working it. Work hardening can even make stainless magnetic. Sorry, I don’t know the physics of why.
