Stainless steel can rust if the protecting passive layer on the surface gets damaged by the effects of external factors on the material. This can occur when the surface is in contact with chemicals like bromide, chloride or iodine. Please always use the mounting fixings delivered with the product such as the stainless steel screws and washers. Untreated welding marks can change the colour, this is not rust and does not affect the lifespan of the product.
