Is it true that stainless steel rusts?
Yes. Multiple reference and book sources state directly that stainless steel does rust, including that it rusts only in its outer layers and that even stainless steel rusts under extreme conditions. A few sources emphasize stainless steel's rust resistance, but they describe a lower likelihood of rusting rather than immunity.
