Rusting stainless steel can be a concern and look unsightly. The metal is designed to resist corrosion which is why most users have fears when 

they start noticing stains and rusting on the metal. Luckily, there are various methods at different stages that can help to improve rust and 

corrosion resistance.

Design

Preparation during the planning phase, when using stainless steel, can pay off in the long run. Ensure the metal is used in areas with minimal water 

penetration to reduce damage to the surface. In cases where contact with water is inevitable, drainage holes should be applied. The design should also allow

free circulation of air to prevent damage to the alloy.

Fabrication

During fabrication, exceptional care should be taking on the surrounding environment to avoid cross contamination with other metals. Everything from the tools, storage 

units, turning rolls and chains should be carefully monitored not to drop impurities into the alloy. This can increase the potential formation of rust.

Maintenance

Once the alloy is installed, regular maintenance is key in rust prevention, also limiting the progression of any rust that might have already formed. Remove 

formed rust using mechanical or chemical means and clean the alloy with warm water and soap. You should also cover the metal with a rust-resistant coating.
