Stainless Steel / Aluminum
Stainless steel is used on bow rail and deck fittings on your Pro Line. Stainless is
corrosion resistant but not corrosion proof. If used in contact with sulfides, chloride salts,
or rusting metals, stainless will show rust spots, discolor or corrode. The grain structure
of stainless, when modified by welding processes has increased susceptibility to micro-
corrosion (invisible to the unaided eye) and embrittelment. Proper care will preserve the
weld strength and beauty of your stainless:
* Always clean frequently with soap and water, most glass cleaners work.
* Always protect with a wax or oil film, especially around welds to guard
against micro- corrosion cracking and rust spots.
* Always remove rust spots as they appear with brass, silver or chrome cleaner.
* Never use coarse abrasives like sandpaper or steel wool, as these can cause
rusting.
* Never clean with acids or bleaches.
* Never permit contact with iron, steel or other metals which could cause
rust or corrosion.
