304 also rusts - especially in the presence of salt water which is why we don’t use it on the exterior of boats (unless you want rust stains) but instead use 31

Same with cutlery..cheap cutlery uses 304 (18-8) and will develop rust spots and better cutlery uses 316 (18-10).
- scrumper 3y agoYep - I cheaped out on some 304 grade fixers in the engine room on my saltwater boat and they were rusty garbage inside of a season. And that was just salty air, no direct water contact.
