[QUOTE="Swacer, post: 1246583, member: 9169"] Well, you see, there is this thing called chemistry, which can explain a lot of things in our life. So when you have certain chemicals, meeting a surface, they tend to react in specific ways. Now, Calcium Chloride and brine (high concentration sodium chloride), typical de-icing agents, will absolutely react with 300 series stainless steel. This process will take longer than it typically does with bare or coated carbon steel, but it most certainly will begin to react, especially when you introduce water. So...when you make the tip black, its typically done by anodizing. So, the question then becomes, how does the stainless steel tip, that was anodized black, react to the chemicals listed above? Will it discolor? Will it spot? What will really happen? Now, what if we throw a coating chemical to protect that anodized tip. What one will work? And also important, how long will it work? Do I need to elaborate any further or are you caught up on why this is a concern? If you would like me to explain how electron exchange happens and how that helps create rust, I'm sure we can discuss that as a sidebar. I don't like to be a **** as most people on this forum are quite helpful, but you're special. [/QUOTE]
