Well I’ve been working around metal all of my life, me Pop was a metal worker and me brother also and we’ve had fabrication shops and I worked till my retirement as a fabricator, welder and inspector at a government accelerator lab where 90% of everything is SS, much of it exposed to the elements.
I was over at my buddy’s garage today and we were looking at the bowtie/Chevrolet hood emblem on his ’50. I noticed it was all full of pits like you would see on a chromed part and that’s what I though it was. He said, “oh no, that’s stainless.” So I sayz, “oh no mon ami, stainless don’t pit like that.” So of course we both reach for the magnet and guess what, it’s stainless!
Now that’s a first for me, never saw any that did that and I just can’t figure what would cause that.
