Various types of stainless steel are increasingly being used extensively and successfully in a variety of different marine environments. It must be pointed out that the long-term corrosion protection of stainless steel in seawater requires complex anti-corrosion engineering techniques and substantial investment. Austenitic and martensitic stainless steels have long been used for superheater pipes and turbine blades on marine power plants. It is not easy to maintain a low chloride content in these devices because the application technology of the marine power plant does not differ from the basic principle of a general power generation device. Stainless steel is also being used in large-capacity chemical containers on ocean-going merchant ships, and its use is in some respects different from that used in land-based chemical plants.
Most stainless steel grades give satisfactory results in marine applications, but different grades are sensitive to stress corrosion cracking. Martensite steel, represented by Type 410, and ferritic steel, represented by Type 430, will rust within a few months under ocean conditions. This uniform rust can be removed by mechanical grinding. The more popular stainless steel is austenitic stainless steel because of its high resistance to rust (except for stress corrosion cracking). Austenitic stainless steels also black out over time. This blackening can also be removed by sanding for aesthetic or other reasons. Stainless steel rarely produces a uniform rust candle in seawater, so you don't have to worry about it in actual use.
