'Stainless Steel' will rust under certain circumstances, particularly decorative strips that may be just Chrome-Iron. In the Aerospace Industry it is officially called Corrosion Resisting Steel. Contact with other steels, incorrect welding or flame cutting as mentioned above, The chemical explosion at Flixborough in 1974 was caused by incorrect welded Stainless Steel.
Contact with some chemicals including salt, acid and some cleaners can cause corrosion.
