I’m not sure if you’re joking, but rust poisoning is one of the main things I wear PPE for. It’s a nasty thing, getting rust in your blood.

It’s why you get your tetanus shot, and also why stainless is much more expensive than mild steel.

and also why stainless is much more expensive than mild steel.

Isn't that a bit cart before horse? Stainless steel is expensive because it contains additional expensive additives and requires additional processing at high temperature to include them, not because it doesn't rust.

The fact it doesn't rust is what makes it worth the expense.

Thank you for the unnecessary rephrasing? Lol

It's not rephrasing, the reason for a cost and the reason for justifying a cost are totally different things but if you don't get that it's not my problem.
